Workshop Descriptions
Girl Scout Brownies, Juniors and Cadettes have the opportunity to select GS-level workshops they wish to attend. Our 2025 registration form offers 8 workshops for each level from which to choose. Camp staff will do their best to honor each camper's choices.
Workshops will be held if there is sufficient girl interest in them. Some workshops have maximum participation limits. Each workshop offers fun requirements that may help campers earn a Girl Scout level badge or patch.
Please note: Our Girl Scout Daisy camper program is designed just for future 1st graders. These girls will stay together as a 'unit' each day of camp.
Our campers will also enjoy traditional Girl Scout activities such as songs, games, SWAPS and ceremonies.
