2017 Summer Camp Welcome In a world filled with smartphones, tablets and digital-at-your-fingertips-everything, we need to make conscious choices for ourselves and our children. Girl Scout summer camp provides a much needed and timeless experience where girls can grow and learn together. Our camps offer a classic summer camp experience with an emphasis on independence, living as part of a community in the outdoors, and of course, leadership. Girl Scouts of Central and Western Massachusetts is committed to providing campers with a safe place to play, learn, and grow in an environment where respect and responsibility are valued Girl Scout Camp provides an environment where a girl can unplug from her busy year-round schedule and just be a kid. Where else can girls paddle in the sun after breakfast, shoot arrows before lunch, sing countless songs, eat a familystyle meal in the dining hall, and sleep under the stars, all in a girl-only environment? Happy Trails, The Program Team at GSCWM CAMPER$HIP HELP A GIRL GO TO CAMP Give the gift of camp! GSCWM camps are a great time for personal growth and discovery, but unfortunately in these difficult economic times, sending a girl to camp is not financially feasible for some families. While the experience is invaluable, many girls will have to miss out on the opportunity to enjoy all that camp has to offer if financial assistance is not available. ACA ACCREDITATION AND SAFETY/HEALTH REGULATIONS The American Camp Association is the world’s premier organization dedicated to promoting the safety and quality of camp programs. As part of the accreditation process, many of GSCWM’s camps voluntarily participate in periodic visits by trained and certified camp visitors with the purpose of verifying our compliance with high standards in the areas of personnel, program administration, and site and facility safety. Camps Bonnie Brae, Green Eyrie and Lewis Perkins are officially accredited, however, all GSCWM camps maintain the same high levels of safety and quality in camp programming by following ACA guidelines. In addition to the safety guidelines outlined by the American Camp Association and Girl Scouts of the USA, all GSCWM camps comply with regulations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and are licensed by local boards of health. For more information about these state regulations, call 617-624-5757. Please consider supporting local girls with the gift of camp! You may never meet her. You may never know her. But you can rest assured you have given a young girl the opportunity to grow which will impact her future decisions, her belief in herself and her ability to succeed at home and school.
