Safety Measures
-
In 2020, all units were limited to no more than 20 campers. Once a unit was full, it was closed to future registrations.
While at camp, campers spend each day with the same counselors and the campers assigned to their unit. One girl is allowed into changing areas at a time. Activities that require close contact such as campfires, sleepovers, low ropes, etc. will not be offered, unless deemed safe by public health officials.
All services and communal areas are frequently cleaned and specific times for handwashing are built into each day’s schedule.
-
Activities
-
All campers will have opportunities for boating, archery, arts and crafts, lake swimming and Girl Scout badge work. Additional camp activities will be provided if they meet all safety guidelines and outside guidance.
