SUMMER CAMP GUIDE 2014<br />

Dear Friends and Families,<br />

Can you believe it’s time to think summer? Get the girl in your<br />

life excited about Girl Scout camp! Personally, I can’t wait to<br />

welcome girls to a new season of camp fun and activities.<br />

Last year, thousands of girls had the adventure of a lifetime.<br />

With four resident camps, nine day camps and two family<br />

camps, we offer something for every type of outdoor<br />

adventurer. Sailing and swimming, horseback riding and<br />

hiking, challenge courses and creative arts—you can find a<br />

program to suit any interest among the hundreds featured in<br />

this guide.<br />

Girls and parents who make Girl Scout camp their camp of<br />

choice find themselves saying things like:<br />

• “What I liked most about my counselors at camp was<br />

that they never gave up on you and were super nice!”<br />

• “My daughter is afraid of heights. Her biggest<br />

accomplishment and proudest moment of camp<br />

was when she climbed up and did the zip line. She<br />

loved it!”<br />

• “My daughter was excited to make new friends<br />

and, for a shy seven-year-old, this was a fantastic<br />

opportunity. She had a great experience her first two<br />

weeks and can’t wait to go back.”<br />

Don’t miss out on the fun! According to Boston Parents<br />

Paper, Girl Scout camps are a top “Family Favorite” summer<br />

experience. We can’t wait for you to join us and make summer<br />

2014 the most memorable yet.<br />

GENERAL INFORMATION<br />

Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts’ camp programs offer girls opportunities to explore their personal<br />

interests, creativity and the environment under the guidance of caring, trained adults. Imagine a summer full<br />

of visual and performing arts, sailing and swimming, hiking and biking, technology and much more!<br />

From white sands to green hills, Girl Scout camp is a place where girls can spend the summer discovering the<br />

wonders of the great outdoors. Register anytime at hercamp.org. Prior Girl Scout or troop membership is not<br />

required. We can’t wait for you to join us! See our property map on page 6 for locations.<br />

CAMP BUDDIES<br />

A camper may request one “buddy” per session. Both buddies must<br />

register for the same camp, program and session, and must list each<br />

other’s name on the registration forms. The camp director has final<br />

say on camp placement.<br />

CAMP LIVING<br />

<strong>Camp</strong>ers are placed in groups of 5 to 30 girls, with 2 to 5 staff per<br />

group. At resident camp, girls stay either in cabins (6–12 girls),<br />

yurts (6 girls), tent-a-los (5 girls) or platform tents (4–6 girls). All<br />

cabins, tents and yurts are supplied with cots/beds and mattresses.<br />

The program, number of girls, and camper’s age determine the<br />

living arrangements. Each unit has shelter for rainy day activities,<br />

bathroom facilities and storage.<br />

PROGRAM CANCELLATION<br />

If a program is cancelled for lack of registrations, every effort will<br />

be made to place each girl in a similar program. <strong>Camp</strong> sessions will<br />

be held regardless of weather, but the program may be modified in<br />

extreme weather conditions.<br />

CAMP PRESENTATION VISITS<br />

<strong>Camp</strong> staff are available to give presentations about camp at<br />

local events. Our staff will bring camp activities and songs, and<br />

answer questions from parents and girls. Registration materials and<br />

updated program information will be available. To schedule a visit,<br />

contact camp@girlscoutseasternmass.org.<br />

EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT<br />

Each camper who registers for a 2014 <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>Camp</strong> program and<br />

enters the promo code EB2014 before April 1, 2014, will receive $25<br />

off their total summer camp fee. This discount does not apply to<br />

Day <strong>Camp</strong> Assistant, April Vacation Journey or Family <strong>Camp</strong>ing<br />

programs. The promo code must be entered during the registration<br />

process and expires on April 1, 2014 at 11:59 PM.<br />

HEALTH & SAFETY<br />

Our primary concern is the safety and well-being of every camper.<br />

Our camps follow all safety and risk management guidelines set by Girl<br />

Scouts of the USA, the local, state and federal boards of health, and<br />

the American <strong>Camp</strong> Association (ACA), a national camp organization<br />

that sets high standards for both the health and safety of campers and<br />

staff, and the delivery of quality programs. All camps in Massachusetts<br />

must comply with regulations of the Massachusetts Department<br />

of Public Health (105 CMR 430.000). New Hampshire camps are in<br />

compliance with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental<br />

Services Rules (Part Env-WS 1120.00). In addition, the board of health<br />

in the town in which the camp is located licenses each camp. All our<br />

camps are ACA certified.<br />

HEALTH INFORMATION<br />

A health care supervisor (HCS) staffs the camp health center and<br />

a health care consultant (local physician) is on call. All campers are<br />

required to have a physical examination within 12 months prior to<br />

arriving at camp. All health forms must be completed and signed by<br />

a physician each year (including inoculation update) and submitted<br />

no later than May 1, 2014. Health forms are sent to you with the<br />

confirmation packets and are available online at hercamp.org.<br />

No child may attend camp without submitting the health form.<br />

CARE OF MILDLY ILL CAMPERS<br />

Staff is responsible for reporting any signs of illness to the health<br />

care supervisor (HCS), who assesses each situation. The HCS may<br />

administer over-the-counter medications she believes are warranted<br />

if they are authorized by the parent/guardian. If the HCS determines<br />

the child should be sent home or seen by the health care consultant,<br />

she informs the camp director and arrangements are made. In both<br />

situations, the parent/guardian is contacted as soon as possible.<br />

Not responsible for typographical errors. Program dates and<br />

prices subject to change. Please visit hercamp.org for the most<br />

current date, pricing and availability details.<br />

GENERAL INFORMATION<br />

CAMPERS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS<br />

Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts makes every attempt to offer<br />

summer camp opportunities to all girls. If you have a camper with<br />

special needs, please call 617-350-8335 to discuss how we can<br />

make your camper’s experience one that is exciting, appropriate and<br />

fulfilling. The information you share with us about your camper will<br />

be held confidential, shared only as HIPAA allows, and in accordance<br />

with your wishes.<br />

HORSEBACK RIDING PROGRAMS<br />

The horseback riding program allows campers to develop riding<br />

skills and learn about equine care and barn management. All girls<br />

registered for the riding program must bring long pants or jeans. If<br />

your daughter has a Pony Club-approved riding helmet with chin<br />

strap or one-inch heel boots, she may bring them to camp; if not,<br />

camp will provide an approved riding helmet and boots.<br />

For safety purposes, all girls will be skill-tested and the riding director<br />

will place girls in programs/lessons that reflect their skill level.<br />

INCLEMENT WEATHER<br />

Horseback riding and water activities may be cancelled when<br />

weather conditions are unsuitable. Alternative activities will be<br />

provided. Refunds are not given when activities are cancelled due to<br />

weather conditions.<br />

STAFF<br />

Our camp staff are selected for their interest and ability to work with<br />

young people, to teach and share skills, willingness to be part of a<br />

team, and commitment to the values of honesty, respect, caring<br />

and responsibility. All staff are at least 18 years of age or are high<br />

school graduates. Criminal background and sexual offender checks<br />

(C.O.R.I. and S.O.R.I.) are conducted on all camp staff. To comply with<br />

the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and to be licensed<br />

by the local board of health, we inform you that you have the right<br />

to request proof of background checks, camp health care policies,<br />

discipline policies, as well as policies for filing grievances.<br />

All staff attend pre-camp orientation where they learn or review<br />

camping skills, risk management and safety procedures, Girl Scout<br />

program, human relations, and communication skills. Many of the<br />

staff return each year and travel from all around the world to join us.<br />

DRIVING DIRECTIONS<br />

Directions to camp will be included in your confirmation packet and<br />

can also be found on the Properties page of hercamp.org.<br />

CAMP TRANSPORTATION<br />

Transportation is included in the cost of day camp. Bus stop location<br />

details are included in this book and in your camp confirmation<br />

packet. Bus service to resident camps will run from Boston, Braintree<br />

and Burlington for $50 each way. Cancellation of bus registration<br />

by parents must be given seven days prior to the pickup date to<br />

receive a refund of bus fees. Buses may be cancelled by <strong>GSEM</strong> due to<br />

insufficient enrollment.<br />

WEAPONS, DRUGS, SMOKING POLICY<br />

<strong>Camp</strong>ers and staff are not permitted to bring drugs, alcohol, pets,<br />

tobacco products or weapons of any kind (e.g., Swiss army knives,<br />

scissors, etc.) to camp. Prescription medication should arrive in its<br />

original container with the camper’s name and be turned over to the<br />

bus monitor or health supervisor upon arrival at camp.<br />

ACCREDITATION<br />

American <strong>Camp</strong> Association (ACA) Accreditation<br />

means that the camp you are considering for your<br />

child cares enough to undergo a thorough annual<br />

review of its operation—more than 250 standards<br />

from staff qualifications and training to emergency management.<br />

ACA collaborates with experts from the American Academy of<br />

Pediatrics, the American Red Cross and other youth service agencies<br />

to assure that current practices reflect the most up-to-date,<br />

research-based standards in camp operation.<br />

White Mountains. Our trip and travel program is designed to offer new challenges and experiences to<br />

girls as they grow, providing them with a progression of outdoor skills.<br />

<strong>Camp</strong> Runels welcomes campers and staff with a wide range of experience and abilities. Our staff<br />

members come from around the world, and many are former Runels campers who return to share<br />

the magic of camp with a new generation. Venture into our dining hall to learn about our unique<br />

history and the women who made Runels into the summertime home it is today. The camp program<br />

is designed by the girls as they work with their staff to create an exciting, fun and safe experience for<br />

space to take a risk. Join us this summer for a half-week, one-week or even two-week session, and<br />
