2012 Camp Grove Point Summer Camp Guide

SUMMER CAMP For ALL girls in grades 1-12

Girl Scouting is entering its 100th year in 2012, which has been designated “Year of the Girl.” We strive to evolve our programming as our culture evolves to meet today’s girl’s needs. Girls today want experiences that give them the opportunity to try something new, feel confident and face their fears. Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay (GSCB) offers summer camp programs that present these opportunities to our campers.

GSCB camps have a solid commitment to understanding and applying strategies that work best with girls. Whether paid or volunteer, we specifically hire those with experience in Girl Scouting so they have a passion for working with girls.

Programs are designed to give girls the opportunity to learn through fun, imaginative and exciting activities. These activities help develop a strong sense of self, critical thinking skills, working in cooperation with others, developing relationships and becoming problem solvers.

You may see that many of our camps’ prices are far lower than our competitors. We do this because we want ALL girls to experience our camps. We also offer scholarships and discounts to campers to ensure that all families who need the support can receive it. Each program provides both emotional- and skill-based progression. We want every girl to walk away from camp wanting more—forever changed, with lifelong friends she will never forget.

Join us as we celebrate the centennial summer of the Girl Scout movement and you will see why there is … More than you think!

C

amp Staff Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay is

dedicated to hiring professional, nurturing camp staff and volunteers. Our staff are carefully selected from applicants from all over the world. They are chosen for their maturity, program design abilities, experience and interest in the outdoors. All staff attend training involving camp skills, Girl Scout program, safety, emergency procedures and youth development. Staff are certified in appropriate areas to fulfill state, ACA and GSUSA requirements.

H

ealth and Safety Your camper’s health and safety are our first priority. All programs are planned and staffed according to the high standards of the ACA and GSUSA. All staff are certified in first-aid and CPR. If your camper has any allergies or health concerns, please contact the Director prior to camp.

C

amper Behavior Camp life is an excellent opportunity for girls to live and work together. It is the camp staff’s responsibility to ensure that girls find productive ways to work through their differences. However, if a girl is finding it too difficult to follow the behavioral agreements set by the camp, she may be asked to leave. It will be the parent’s or guardian’s responsibility to pick up their camper when notified. No refunds will be issued if a camper is sent home for behavioral issues.

R

efunds and Cancellations Written cancellation notices and requests for refunds for the balance of the camp fee must be received at least four weeks prior to the beginning of the scheduled camp session. If you register less than four weeks before a session starts, there will be no refund. Deposits are non-refundable. Refunds are not typically given for a child arriving late, leaving early or attending only part of the week prior to her session at camp. In the case where we ask a camper to leave early due to illness or injury we will then pro-rate the amount paid including only the time the camper was at camp, excluding the deposit. If your child has an illness or injury up to one week prior to her session at camp, a written explanation from a physician is required to receive a refund of any money paid beyond the deposit. If GSCB must cancel a session, a call to the parent/guardian will be made to discuss placement in an alternate program.
