Adventure awaits

There is simply nothing like it!

Take a deep breath. Catch the scent of pine cones mixed with roasting marshmallows, and you are ready for your summer camp adventure.

There are leaves to rustle through, water to plunge into, and trails to explore.

There are campfire stories that will make you laugh and shiver, like the night air causing you to snuggle deeper into the warmth of your sleeping bag ... drifting off to dream of the fun you’ll have tomorrow.

At summer camp you can come for the day, for three, five, or even 12 nights. You can bring a buddy or come on your own, but in no time you will know all the girls in your camping unit just like your friends back home. That is just the “nature” of summer camp - friends made summer after summer often become your friends for life. You might even come to camp with your whole troop or with your favorite adult!

Summer camp is open to ALL GIRLS entering 1st - 12th grade. Not a Girl Scout?

Simply add $30 to the camp fee to become a member and join in the fun! Bring your friends and show them how to have a blast this summer!

Girl Scouts love the magic that comes only from a large group all together, so a few times per week the whole camp gets together for talent shows and dance parties, campfires, games, scavenger hunts, pool parties, guest presenters, and more!

4

The girls who live together in your camp community, called a “unit,” are close to your age and become your closest friends. Together you might stay up late and share stories, cook your dinner over the fire, conquer an obstacle course, jump in Crystal Lake, or inspire each other with unique projects.

Individual Adventures

Each of you are special with unique talents and interests.

Every day you’ll get to choose activities that are open to girls from the entire camp, allowing you to make new friends and try different activities like archery, art, stand up paddle boarding, kayaking, river stomping, games, and more.

Safety is priority-one Our staff complete intense training in how to keep girls safe while still having lots of fun. Camp Evelyn and Camp Manitou are operated by the standards of Girl Scouts of the USA, which meet or exceed the standards of the local and state health departments. All staff pass a thorough screening process including criminal and sexual offender background checks. Each staff member is certified in CPR and first aid, and many are lifeguards. A qualified health supervisor is on-site at all times, and a doctor is on-call. Adults picking up girls must be listed on the transportation form completed by the parent prior to camp and will be required to show a photo ID.

life at camp: Delicious Meals: There is nothing

like activity and fresh air to make a girl HUNGRY! Camp meals and snacks are healthy and are foods kids like. Most meals are prepared by our cooks and eaten in the dining hall, and girls also cook at least one meal themselves outdoors.

Most diets can be accommodated by contacting the Director of Camp and Program at least two weeks prior to your daughter’s stay at camp. Girls with dietary restrictions are welcome to bring a few alternative meals if they wish. Please include any dietary or meal restrictions in your daughter’s health information as well.

Sweet Dreams: Girls will sleep on cots covered

with mosquito netting in tents set up on raised platforms or in cabins. Counselors sleep in tents or cabins that are VERY close by, but not in the same tents or cabins as girls. Decisions on where the girls sleep depend on girl attendance, camp session, and availability.

Kapers: Kapers are chores, important in Girl

Scouting, to learn that everyone must do their share. In small groups, girls will take turns doing kapers like setting and clearing dining hall tables, sweeping, raising and lowering the flag, and keeping camp beautiful.

Special Needs: Camp Evelyn can

accommodate most physical, medical, developmental, dietary, behavioral, or communication needs. Contact the Director of Camp and Program to discuss the camp session and your daughter’s specific needs.

12

Cell phones and electronics: Camp is purposefully

a place where girls can be “unplugged,” allowing them to fully connect with each other and the environment. Cell phones and other electronic devices like iPods, iPads, tablets, computers, gaming systems, and more are not allowed at camp.

Activities and weather: We don’t let a little rain stop us, but some program activities are dependent upon weather. In the event that there is severe weather in the area, all girls are moved to our storm location on camp property.

Camp store (Canteen) The Camp Evelyn store (Canteen) is bursting with camp goodies including T-shirts, water bottles, toys, additional activity items, and more.

Prices vary from $1 to $30 so there is something for everyone. A popular item is the yearly Camp Evelyn T-shirt, approximately $15! Help your daughter bring her camp memories home by depositing funds into her camp store account when you register her for camp.

Cash, check, credit card, gift cards, and program credits earned in the cookie sale are accepted. The remaining balance at the end of the camp session will be returned in the form of a Girl Scouts of Manitou Council gift card, unless it is under $5, which will be given back as cash. Those who have not made a deposit at the time of registration are asked to deposit any store money into your daughter’s account during check in.

Send your daughter a Camp Care Package!

Purchased when you register and given to your daughter on her first day at camp. You can include a personalized note to go with your daughter’s package: email it to hope@gsmanitou.org with your daughter’s name and camp session, with the subject line “Care Package Message.”

• Evelyn Memories - $39: Drawstring bag, camp journal with pen, flying disc, playing cards, head lamp, stuffed animal, and two postcards with stamps.

• Birthday Blast! $35: A celebration with decorations for your daughter’s cabin or tent, a birthday patch, birthday card signed by the entire camp staff, and cake & ice cream!

13

Keeping in touch Letters and Email

While girls can’t bring cell phones to camp, a letter or email from home can make the difference between a good day and a great day!

Mail a letter to your daughter before the session or put mail in the girl mailbox at check in. More information about communication is in the confirmation packet.

Camp Photos and Newsletter

Each week we post a fun newsletter online and photos of the awesome activities going on at camp. There is no cost to view the photos and newsletters; however, you may choose to purchase the pictures. More information is in the confirmation packet. We also post regularly on the Camp Evelyn Facebook page and our Instagram, @gsmanitou!

Fun! “She got the confidence to get out on the paddle board and then even kayak for the first time by herself, and we couldn’t get her back in. I am so proud of her growth from the shy girl to a confident one telling others how brave she was in a short weekend at camp.”

- Parent from Mother/Daughter weekend

Friendship “Friends are easily made at camp, even if you don’t know anyone from the start. There are tons of different activities I got to do at camp that I wouldn’t be able to do at home (my mom would kill me if I made paint balloons.) I would recommend camp to any girl who likes to have fun away from home.

- Long time Camp Evelyn camper

new skills

“She loved all of the fun activities and the camp staff. A huge thanks to all of the staff for making my daughter’s time at camp a fun, safe, positive, wonderful experience and for going above and beyond to make sure her needs were met. I can’t say enough about how great Camp Evelyn is!”

Camp faq What if my daughter gets homesick?

Camp staff are experienced with helping girls move past homesickness. They will work on getting a homesick girl active and involved, help her meet new friends, and let her know that it is normal to have these feelings. You can help your daughter cope with homesickness by speaking openly about how normal the feeling of missing home is, but that it will go away once she starts having fun at camp. You are also encouraged to write positive letters or emails.

What training does camp staff receive?

All camp staff are required to pass a background check and complete a two-week training program prior to working with campers, which includes CPR/First Aid certification and emergency preparedness, child development, group management, how to manage homesickness, and more. Staff are trained in safety and facilitation practices for the program activities available (archery, horses, lifeguarding, etc.).

What if I need to pick up my daughter early, or drop her off late?

No problem! Contact the camp staff prior to make the proper arrangements. Remind camp staff during check in as well.

What if my daughter can’t swim yet?

All girls participate in a swimming skills assessment as one of the first activities at camp. They will be assigned to a swim area according to their ability.

Lifejackets will be provided if needed and are required for some activities. Lifeguards supervise all aquatic activities. Girls can also decide not to swim and use the time for other available activities.

Can Program Credits earned through the Girl Scout cookie sale be used at camp?

Yes, program credits can be used for the camp registration fee and for buying items from the camp store.

Can my daughter attend more than one camp session this summer?

Of course she can! She can come to camp as often and as much as both of you would like! She will make lots of memories here all summer long.

Camp faq cont.

How do I communicate with my daughter while she’s at camp?

Mail and email will keep you in touch! We recommend writing letters ahead of time and giving them to staff during check-in. They will deliver them to your daughter daily. Don’t forget to pack pre-addressed and stamped envelopes so she can write back! Emails are printed and delivered once a day. We post photos daily on the Camp Evelyn Facebook page, Bunk1, and Instagram, and post an online newsletter weekly.

My daughter has dietary restrictions and allergies. Can this be accommodated at camp?

We have many girls who come to camp with food allergies and dietary restrictions. These girls are welcome to bring a few alternative meals if they wish. Please include dietary and/or food allergies in your daughter’s health information as well.

Contact the Director of Camp and Program to discuss the camp session and your daughter’s specific needs.

My daughter has special needs. Will she be successful at camp?

We can accommodate most physical, medical, developmental, dietary, behavioral, or communication needs. Contact the Director of Camp and Program to discuss the nature of your daughter’s needs.

Can my daughter bring a friend to camp even if she’s not a Girl Scout?

All girls are welcome at camp! We encourage all girls to invite a new friend. Those who aren’t current Girl Scouts add the $30 membership fee during registration. Please list your daughter’s buddy name on her registration form to be placed in the same unit.

Do you offer financial assistance?

Yes, we offer camperships for families in need. Visit our website www.gsmanitou.org for more information and to apply.

What if I have more questions or concerns about camp?

We want you to feel perfectly comfortable with camp.
