Girl Scout 2022 Camp Guide Camp Eat Sleep Repeat 2 | Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming 2 | Girl Scouts of Montana and Wyoming From the Camp Director Our Program Philosophy We believe everything that happens at camp is part of the camp experience. Our campers grow through many different adventures at camp. They try new things, build confidence, and make new friends. They also spend time away from families in a new environment. While at camp, they learn to be part of a community, to make decisions together, and to take responsibility for their ac tions and surroundings. They participate in “kapers” to keep camp areas clean and beautiful, share responsibilities at cookouts, and support each other through new challenges. In our safe and supportive environment, campers become active participants in the learning process. Thank you to Girl Scouts of Northwestern Great Lakes for design inspiration of this camp guide! Hey everybody! On behalf of everyone at GSMW, we’re so excited to see your faces at camp this summer! We’ve got action packed weeks coming your way whether you’re an experienced camper or a first timer. Explore this brochure and I’m certain you’ll find something that catches your eye! Circle your top choices, share with your friends and get them hyped to go rafting, create slime, learn about life in the 1900s, throw an axe, get stealthy like a spy, or even use a fire extinguisher. There are so many options at Girl Scout Camp! You can catch me at camp always with a big ole grin on my face, just thriving on the controlled chaos! Fostering connections, teaching new skills, and leading a community that’s focused on building up our future leaders in courage, confidence, and character truly brings me such joy knowing I’m changing lives.

At our camps, campers build independence, self-confidence and leadership skills. Participants can only reap these benefits, however, if they are emotionally prepared for overnight camps. Prepare your girl by getting her outside regularly, having her stay at a relative’s place, or have her try a sleepover or backyard campout at a friend’s house. When in doubt, there’s always an option of attending an early-season GO Camp, Troop Camp or Try-It camp, and then decide about a full-week. Take the quiz below to find out!

Gaga Ball With slightly more votes than archery, campers say their favorite camp activity is Gaga Ball. This action-packed game gets the heart rate up while teaching strategy, fair play, and respect. Cookouts Every week, weather and US Forest Service permitting, all GSMW campers get to cook their own meal over an open fire. Golden Dustpan Each day, campers unite to build character through the responsibility of tidying their cabins. The Camp Director awards the Dustpan to the cabin that has shown the greatest respect and responsibility. Spirit Stick Throughout the week, campers seek out the spirit stick to gain the ultimate reward of hosting the prized possession for closing campfire. Evening Embers Named to signify the close of the day like the dimming embers of a fire. Every evening, groups will meet to participate in activities designed to help create a community and foster bonding among cabin-mates. Thursday Dinner Staff trade in their tie-dye for this special evening and campers are more than welcome to join in on dressing up with a nice outfit or fun accessories!
