Council brochures

The 2009 Camp Brochure is completed and is posted on the new GSCNC website http://www.gscnc.org/summer_camps.html, It was mailed to all registered Girl Scouts. Watch for it and Get Ready for Big Time Summer Fun!!!!!“  If you don’t get yours, check the council web site to download a copy and check our web page for our camp info. The new brochure contains both sleep away and day camp offerings.

Register early for best choices!

We are currently planning activities for the summer day camps.  If you have any ideas or suggestions, email us:  winona at campsomd dot org. If you have any ideas for web page improvement, email that too.  We welcome all suggestions.

Even though they will have resident camp at Winona this summer, Winona 1 and Winona Teen will use the property on Tuesday and Wednesday for our day camp week, with programs guided by the resident camp counselors. 

Adults
The Program Department and School Break Programs Specialist are holding a Program Aid and Program Kit Training events for teens interested in learning more about how to lead a station at camp. If you know teens that would be interested, give them the flyer Council still needs volunteers to help them run some of the training stations at the Program Aide training in February at Camp Winona!!!! Know someone who does a great job running songs, crafts, games, etc??? and could devote 2-3 hours to help train teens. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!!!!  See date and place below.

Staffing

Adult Volunteers are needed for all camps.  Reduced fees apply.  There are plenty of Girl Scout training opportunities available at the Council training site.

Now is the time to start looking for and sign up for classes to recertify your specials - First Aide/CPR, archery, lifeguard, and canoe classes.  Also look for level and outdoor trainings from Council. Places to look:  college course, Red Cross, military bases.  We are looking for an archery instructor.

Teens

Teen Treks
Teens, sign up for the various teen adventure treks at the camp website. You and a friend can spend a day at camp without really being at camp.  What a concept!

Program Aide
Program Aide (PA) is a leadership position designed to enable Teen Girl Scouts to share their interests and experience with younger girls. Are you a Teen Girl Scouts who would be great as a PA? Training events for teens interested in learning more about how to lead a station at camp. If you know teens that would be interested. More info, click here for flyer.  Registration form must be mailed to Council.
