WELCOME BACK TO CAMP! Summer Camp is an experience like no other! After navigating the incredible changes to your routine over the past year we can’t wait to welcome you back to camp. When you embrace the camp life, you’ll meet new friends, take on new adventures, and make memories that will last a lifetime. GSHH camps provide you with unlimited opportunities to experience nature and the outdoors within an allgirl, girl-led, and girl-planned environment. When unplugged from outside pressures, your creativity and individuality will flourish! At camp, selfexpression is welcomed, self-care is practiced, and your self-esteem will be boosted. Our counselors and staff will respect and challenge you as you spend time with girls with similar interests. In the natural outdoor setting, you will gain confidence and independence. These traits will build to a better understanding of yourself and your leadership skills. The “sisterhood” and comradery that your camp family will provide is so unique and truly lasts a lifetime. Whether you are a seasoned camper or experiencing camp for the first time, you will be welcomed with open arms. Please know that everyone is accepted, everyone is encouraged, and everyone is fully embraced for their uniqueness! We are so excited to offer you a one of a kind camp experience. I am looking forward to seeing you this summer! Marie Reger, aka Heels CEO, Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc.

Health Screening & COVID-19 Vaccinations All campers and staff will be required to have daily health screenings and temperature checks. Prior to camp, all non-vaccinated campers will be required to have a pre-camp COVID-19 test. Campers age 12 and above who have been vaccinated must produce a Proof of Vaccination* (vaccine card). All other campers who've not been vaccinated must produce a negative COVID-19 test (taken within 72 hours of arrival at camp). This can be a COVID-19 lab test or a rapid test - both meet the necessary NYS guidelines. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be required as mandated by the CDC, NYS, and local departments of health. *Upload to immunization section in CampDocs
Cleaning protocols, and disinfecting. To keep the camp environment as safe as possible there will be increased cleaning and disinfection protocols by our cleaning team. All cleaning will be performed with EPA-approved soaps and sanitizers. Activity areas, equipment, and supplies will be disinfected between each group use. Each group will have its own activity supplies for its exclusive use.
*Guidelines are current as of July 2021 and are subject to change

We are all eagerly planning our 2021 camp season. While we do not know what the future holds, we do know that as Girl Scouts we can prepare for whatever challenges are ahead. Our health & safety plan will provide everyone with the safest environment possible. Camp is not a risk-free environment, but increased safety procedures and policies have been created to minimize risk and provide campers with an amazing summer camp experience. We have no doubt that we will find the need to make changes along the way to abide by the CDC, NYS, and local Department of Health guidelines, but we are Girl Scouts and we stand by the GS motto " Always be prepared" Below please find an overview of modified procedures. These protocols are subject to change based on updated information from the CDC, NYS, and local departments of health.
5 RAZONES PRINCIPALES PARA ELEGIR CAMPAMENTO DE GIRL SCOUTS
5 RAZONES PRINCIPALES PARA ELEGIR CAMPAMENTO DE GIRL SCOUTS 1. El sentimiento de familia! No hay nada mejor que el sentimiento de comunidad cuando un grupo de individuos positivos y amable se juntan para divertirse. Campamento de Girl Scouts fomenta relaciones sanas y crea amistades que dura toda la vida. 2. ¡Seguridad, seguridad, seguridad! ¿Sabías que las normas de seguridad de Girl Scouts son más estrictas que el Departamento de salud? En el campamento de Girl Scouts, tenemos ratios de adultos a niñas mas altas , personal bien entrenado y políticas de seguridad mas estrictas asegurando que no importa la cantidad de diversión que ella tiene, va a ser de la manera más segura posible. Las tres de nuestros campamentos están acreditado por el American Camp Association (ACA). Para más información del progama de campamento y hablar con alguien en español: Llame a Carolina Mena 914.747.3080 X 747
3. Guiado por niñas. ¡Elegido por niñas! Queremos que las niñas tengan una voz. Y eso incluye ayudar de decidir las actividades de la semana. En el campamento de Girl Scouts, campistas ayudan a hacer decisiones que afectan al grupo y tienen la oportun- idad de planear la semana, así es todo acerca de ellas, y haciendo lo que hace a ellas más feliz. 4. ¡Foco al aire libre! Es tan fácil quedarse atrapados en el ajetreo de la vida cotidiana, las niñas necesitan una oportunidad para conectar con la naturaleza - mira las estrellas, contar cuentos alrededor de la fogata, caminar por los arroyos para ver lo que vive alli, corer por campos abiertos. Ser al aire libre para explorar es una parte por excelencia de la infancia. 5. ¡Modelos positivos! Cuando pedimos a los campistas y los padres compartir sus aspectos favoritos del Campamento de Girl Scouts, nuestros empleados siempre hacen la lista. Nuestros monitores no sólo hacen el campamento divertido y estimulantes, sino inspiran a la próxima generación de niñas.
ERUHCORB PMAC REMMUS 1202 • 6 EGAP
¡Este verano, traela a un lugar segúro, enriquecedor y más importante, lleno de diversion! En nuestros campamentos, creemos que las niñas no deben de tener que elegir entre actividades de ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería o matemáticas (STEM); y la moda, tiro con arco, pescando o en artesanías. Sabemos que las niñas tienen una gran variedad de intereses, y en Girl Scouts, ellas pueden probar un poco de todo.

Mail Campers love getting mail! You can bring camper mail to Check-In for the entire week and save yourself some postage. To send something to your camper via USPS each camp’s mailing address is the same as the physical address but keep in mind that anything mailed after Monday may not arrive before Check-Out on Friday. Remember, before dropping off camper mail at CheckIn, please make sure to include:
Camper Name and Camper’s Session Name: If there are specific days you ant items delivered, please also write this on the envelope.
Important Note: Do not send food, snacks, candy, gum, soda, electronics, etc, to your camper. Food and sweets are not allowed in the units due to insects and other critters.

These will be printed each day and given out during mail time. Mail time is once a day between Siesta and Dinner. Anything sent after 11 AM will be printed and delivered the next day. We encourage parents and camper’s family members to send their camper mail. Please try not to say things like “I miss you so much”. Instead, ask your camper fun questions about what they are doing each day, have they made new friends, etc. You can view suggestions on what to say and what not to say in our Missing Home section.

GENERAL CAMP INFORMATION
Camper Health Forms:
Medical
All camper health forms will be available online through CampDocs. You will be given access to CampDocs shortly after registration. All camper health forms (including vaccination records, allergies, medications, insurance, physical, etc.) and the Pick-Up Form are required to be submitted online through CampDocs prior to arrival at camp. The camp Nurses will review the camper health forms and contact you if sections are incomplete or if they have questions in regards to your campers’ health. If health forms are not completed prior to check-in the camper will not be allowed to remain at camp until the forms are completed. No refunds or adjustments in fees will be made for non-attendance due to incomplete health forms.
All campers will be checked for a fever and head lice during the Check-In process. Campers with either lice or nits will be sent home for treatment to ensure the health and safety of the rest of our camp community. The camper may be admitted to camp for a later session once she is lice and nit-free. The payment for your session will be applied to a future camp session in the summer. If no sessions are available, you will receive a refund minus the $75 deposit. For prevention, we highly encourage parents to check for lice prior to arriving at camp.

Reminder: make sure to see the Nurse at Check-Out to retrieve your medications; they will not be given to the camper prior to Check-Out.
GENERAL CAMP INFORMATION What are Kapers? At Girl Scout Camp, girls are active members of our camp community and are assigned daily chores, called “Kapers.” Kapers may include picking up trash around camp, setting tables at mealtimes, or cleaning the restroom. In addition, girls are expected to keep their personal items picked up in the living area.
More than ever before campers have grown up in a world connected by technological devices. An important hallmark of camp is to balance this reality with a high quality outdoor experience aimed at inspiring respect for the natural world year round. To provide this important experience, we require campers to leave all electronics at home. Any cell phones, mp3 players, iPods, handheld gaming devices, wearable technology (Apple watches, Fitbits, etc.), e-readers, iPads, tablets, and computer like objects brought to camp by campers will be collected and stored in the Camp Director’s office until the camper is picked up at checkout. We also highly discourage campers from bringing hair dryers, or curling irons. We appreciate your family’s efforts to support this important requirement.
Swimsuits at Camp
Photography We know how much fun your camper has with us and understand you’re excited for us to share photos of her camp experience with you. While we do our best to take photos, our top priority is making sure your camper is having the best camp experience possible. Photos will be posted on our social media accounts, be sure to like or follow our pages!
Here are a few things to keep in mind:
We will post photos as often as we can. We are very busy making sure that camp is running safely and your camper is having a great experience. We are in a rural area-sometimes our camp internet goes out and delays uploading photos. Camp staff will not interrupt our campers’ experience to take photos, nor will we force campers to take photos if they don’t want to. Candid photos are often taken while girls are doing various activities so it may not be a posed pictures. We try to take multiple photos of each unit weekly. We cannot guarantee we can get photos of them doing everything while at camp, but we will try our best. Don’t worry if your camper doesn’t have a huge smile in every photo. Sometimes campers are thinking or concentrating on their activity and might not always have a big smile. If we ever have concerns about your camper while she is at camp, we will contact you. We welcome campers to bring digital cameras to camp, in fact we encourage this to capture the fun from their perspective. Keep in mind that other devices such as cell phones are not allowed to camp, as we are teaching them to ‘unplug’ from the online world once in a while. Group photos will be taken each session and available for $12.00 each, payable by cash at drop-off.
We highly recommend you send your campers with 1 or 2 single-piece swimsuits and a cover up. Due to the active nature of camp and the large number of hours spent in the sun, we want to make sure to protect your camper as much as possible and that includes recommending the safest swim wear. Please be sure to also send water-proof sun screen (recommended SPF 30 or higher). If you have any question or concerns, Please see our technology policy for further details.

GENERAL CAMP INFORMATION
Please contact the Camp Director for campers requiring special diets (including food allergies), special health care or with mobility limitations. At that time, you will be able to discuss the nature of your camper’s needs and gather additional information to determine if the camp can provide the proper support, supervision, and necessary accommodations for your camper to have a safe, fulfilling, fun camp experience. To be successful at camp, your camper needs to be independent in showering, dressing, using the restroom, and be able to manage within the camper to staff ratio (1:1 camper to staff ratios are not permitted). We are dedicated to serving ALL girls in our council and accommodations can be made in many cases. Please contact the Camp Director for more information prior to registering.
become too dangerous to continue with the activity. The decision to cancel due to bad weather is left up to the Camp Director who is trained in the safety standards of the activity. We will do our absolute best to reschedule any canceled activities, or offer an alternative replacement due to weather. This depends on the weather and the time/day of the week. Our primary concern at all times is for the girls’ safety. No refunds or adjustments in fees will be made for canceled activities due to weather. We encourage you not to worry. Our staff is trained on what to do and where to go during bad/severe weather. Also, we do not want to put you in danger trying to get to camp. If an event occurs, we will implement our Emergency Plan and our camp team will contact you with specific information regarding when and where to pick up your camper.
What if it is really hot outside?
We still have fun at camp even when it’s hot outside. We encourage the girls to drink plenty of water and play water games/activities. All campers are encouraged to bring a personal sized battery powered clip-on fan. Please encourage your camper to spend increasing amounts of time outdoors prior to arriving at camp so that being in the heat is not a total shock to her.
Camper Behavior Everyone is expected to live by the Girl Scout Promise and Law while at camp. The camp staff will do everything possible to help girls adjust to camp life. However, GSHH reserves the right to send home from camp any girl who consistently exhibits unsuitable behavior or endangers herself of the camp community, or whose actions towards others are unacceptable. In this case, the camper’s parents/guardian are responsible for picking her up in a timely manner. There will be no refund or adjustment for camp fees.

GENERAL CAMP INFORMATION Camp Activities
Camp Names
Weather permitting, each camper gets the opportunity to go swimming during their sessions. Each program listed gives a general outline of what’s planned for that week, however, Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson's camps promote girl-led program opportunities for our campers. We offer a certain amount of freedom for the girls as a group to choose their additional program options for their stay, that way no two camp sessions are ever the same! All campers will get to take part in traditional camp activities such as campfire, songs, arts and crafts, boating, archery, and swimming.
Ever wonder why the camp staff have unique nicknames? The relationship between campers and camp staff is unlike any other. Calling staff “Ms./Mr.” is too formal for the camp setting, and calling counselors by their first name is too familiar. Camp Names have become a great way to handle the ‘what to call them’ dilemma, and have now become a time-honored tradition. Camp staff choose a name that remind them of things they like, or places they’re from, or sometimes just use a nickname from their own childhood. At camp, you can meet a Sunshine, Cupcake, or Tigger!
Camp Traditions All Camp -All campers and staff come together to enjoy fun games and challenges. This is a great opportunity for each unit to bond with girls from different age groups and units in the camp. Campfire—Opening campfire is a special introduction to the camp week. It’s a timehonored tradition where campers meet camp staff, sing camp songs, and participate in unit skits. Girls prepare a song written by their unit to perform at closing in front of the whole camp and reminisce on memories of the week. Wish Log—During closing campfire, campers will reflect on their experience throughout the week. Each camp will write their names on a log, and make a wish to participate in a ceremony to commemorate their camp experiences. The log will be kept at camp for one year, the prior year’s log will be burned at the campfire, signifying that although you may or may not return to camp, you will always be with us in spirit.
Lost & Found Please be sure to check the lost and found table during Check-Out. Each day during lunch time a parade of lost items is held so that campers can retrieve their items before the end of the week. Items left behind will be sent to the Pleasantville office at the end of the camp season. Items are donated to charity on September 30th if not claimed. Pick-Up of lost items is required as GSHH will not mail lost items to their owner. To help prevent items being lost at camp, label items with your camper’s first and last name. ERUHCORB PMAC REMMUS 1202 •12 EGAP
From time to time, you may see a furry four legged friend or other critters at camp. We take safety very seriously-if we find that an activity is unsafe due to furry visitors, it is at the discretion of the Camp Director to cancel or reschedule an activity for safety reasons. Refunds or reimbursements of funds will not be given for cancelled or rescheduled activities due to safety concerns.

Wondering what your girl will do all day at camp? Here's a sample schedule to get an idea of what is in store for her. *Schedules are approximate and may change depending on weather, and girl interest.
GENERAL CAMP INFORMATION Missing Home We prefer the term missing home to the old phrase of ‘homesickness’ because there is nothing wrong with a camper missing home. It’s a natural feeling-they aren’t ‘sick’, as missing home is the natural result of separating from home and loved ones. Almost all children (and grown-ups!) feel homesick when they’re away from home. People’s feelings vary in intensity.
What can cause ‘missing home’ in your camper? Little previous experience away from home Having low expectations of camp Feeling forced to go to camp Having little previous experience in the outdoors
Being unsure if adults will assist them if they need help Little practice coping with negative emotions Parents expressing anxiety about the separation before the camper has arrived at camp
Surprisingly, research has shown some factors have nothing to do with the intensity of missing home, including geographic distance between home and camp and the presence of a friend from home at camp. Often, missing home is not problematic. When the feelings of sadness and anxiety associated with missing home become so strong that making friends, having fun, sleep, eating, and participating in activities is difficult, we will take action. Please note, that if campers are missing home, they will not be allowed to call home, a member of camp’s core team will phone the parent/guardian if necessary. The best remedy for missing home is a partnership between families and camp staff.
At Home Prevention Strategies Include:
The most common mistake parents make is the ‘Pick-Up Deal.’ It’s normal for children to ask, ‘what if I feel homesick or want to go home?” Tell your child that feelings of missing home are normal and help her practice coping before camp starts. Try not to say “if you feel homesick or don’t want to be at camp anymore, I’ll come and get you,” as campers will have it set in their mind that they can go home anytime they want. This conveys a message of doubt and pity that undermines children’s confidence and independence. ‘Pick-Up Deals’ become mental crutches and self-fulfilling prophecies for children as soon as they arrive at camp. If, after spending practice time away from home and your child is still very anxious about overnight camp, consider waiting until next summer for an overnight camp or try a day camp. When writing your camper, we recommend keeping her informed of what’s going on at home, but avoid going into great detail (good or bad) since your camper might feel they’re missing something back home. Directors advise parents not to mention how much they miss their child or ‘that the dog or cat or grandparent miss them.’ Don’t worry! Your natural reaction is to call on the first day around bedtime to see how your camper is doing. Your GSHH camp staff are trained in dealing with missing home/homesickness. If we have concerns about your camper, be assured we will contact you - think 'no news is good news!' We’re partners in your child’s summer camp adventure!
Say:
You’ll Have so much fun! Make new Friends! Challenge yourself and try new things Write to me about all the fun you are having I cannot wait to hear about your week!
Don't Say:
I’ll miss you I wish your friend could go with you If you don’t like camp, I’ll come pick you up I wish we could talk on the phone while you’re at camp I hope you aren’t missing me too much
