Welcome Letter

Dear Campers and Camp Families,

It’s hard to believe we’re planning for Summer Camp again, but the promise of warm days and sunlight that lasts beyond 5pm is what gets us through the long, cold winter days. You have all done an extraordinary job navigating our changing world these past two years, you should all be incredibly proud of yourself (you too, adults!). Some of our younger and newest Girl Scouts have never known a time without virtual activities and socially distanced troop meetings. This year, we are hoping that all Girl Scouts take the opportunity to get outdoors and try summer camp.

When you take on the adventure of summer camp, you will meet new friends, tackle new experiences, and make memories that will last a lifetime! GSHH camps provide girls with unlimited opportunities to experience nature and the outdoors in a girl-led and girl-planned environment. The camp adventure begins when girls leave the comforts of home and their screens behind and take the leap into the outdoors. After her first taste of camp, you will see that her creativity and individuality flourish!

Our counselors and staff will respect and challenge your campers as they spend time with girls who have similar interests. In the natural outdoor setting, campers will gain confidence and independence. Just one camp session will build to a better understanding of herself and her leadership skills.

As a camper, you are welcomed into the “sisterhood” and camaraderie of the camp family. This experience is unique and one that 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 welcome new campers and welcome back experienced ones for another amazing summer adventure at Rock Hill and Camp Addisone Boyce. We can’t wait to see you!

Yours in Girl Scouting, Marie Reger, CEO Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, Inc.
