Spectacular Summer Experiences!
A Girl Scout Summer is your guide to discovering the outdoors or a new hobby, connecting with friends new and old, and taking action in leadership as a day camp or resident camp aide. Here’s a sneak peek:
Day Camp
In the mornings, afternoons, or even the evenings, day camp offers cool activities, the chance to make new friends, play games and make crafty projects. Choose from more than 30 day camps!
Resident Camp at Camp Cedarledge, Fiddlecreek and Tuckaho
Picture this: horseback riding through wooded trails, acting in a performance, honing athletic skills, diving into adventure with a scuba sampler, discovering the wonders of nature, uncovering camp nightlife, splashing in the pool or sailing a boat across a lake. Now, can you see yourself doing these? Find a wild adventure at a three-day, one-week or two-week program!
New in 2010: a one-week equestrian camp at Cedarledge, a Pamper Me troop program at Fiddlecreek, Outdoor Adventure Course programs at Tuckaho…and much more.
Summer Larks
Want to spend a few hours exploring a potential new hobby or learning new skills? Check out the one-day to one-week activities offered by Larks.

Day Camp and Resident Camp Aides
We need you! Make plans now to serve in a leadership role at GSEM summer programs. Look for details in A Girl Scout Summer!
Day Camp Aides (currently in grades 6-11) teach younger girls new games, crafts, sports, songs, how to make new friends…and a whole lot more!
Resident Camp Aides (currently in grades 9-11) sharpen leadership skills while helping younger campers learn and explore at Camp Tuckaho for a week! Plan unit activities and share enthusiasm and interest in camp.

Trailblazers (C, S, A/grades 6-12)
Troops can help maintain GSEM camp trails, but only if they are up for the challenge of working outdoors and getting a little messy. A Level 1 First Aider must accompany troops. Patches can be purchased at the G.S. Shop after completing the activity. Troops must sign up in advance.
Get Ready For an Adventure on Horseback!
Camp Cedarledge’s Equestrian Center offers awesome horseback riding opportunities for troops. Choose from four options: 90-minute or three-hour program, Mother & Daughter ride, or Troop Ride and Cookout. Each includes a 45-minute trail ride, safety tips from the wranglers and time for Q&A. The three-hour program also includes grooming and saddling a horse and barn tour. See Spring 2010 Leader Program Bulletin for dates and registration information.
Special Mother’s Day Ride - May 9
Bring mom to Camp Cedarledge for a horseback ride through the beautiful woods. Rides last approximately one hour and will be held from 9-10:30 am and 11 am-12:30 pm.
