Covid-19 Changes at Camp - updated 5/2/2022
Covid-19 is Still Active
Unfortunately, we are still in the Covid-19 pandemic and with that pandemic brings many uncertainties about camp. Council has told us we may have camp, and they have lifted most of the restrictions, but the situation is fluid and if a new variant occurs we may need to place some restrictions back in place. Please be patient and understanding as we try to provide a meaningful and safe camp experience for everyone.
As of now, the following changes from 2021 are still in effect:.
- Everyone must wear a mask on the bus and when indoors. No masks required when we are outdoors.
- Cooking has returned to full level, but we will still be implementing a restricted cooking schedule and we will let you know what that is as we plan. For now, all attendees must bring their own lunch and snacks each day.
The following have been added back into camp for 2022:
- Thursday night overnight for all campers 2nd grade and up. We will be able to use council tents, but we are encouraging as many people as possible to bring their own tents. Camp will end on Friday at 11am for those staying Thursday night.
- Caddies will have their Sunday and Tuesday night sleepovers at camp.
- We will be swimming or boating at Camp Lakamaga.
- We can use the low-ropes course (Adventure Course)
- We can visit the camp store.
- We can cook again at camp, but we will be limiting how much we cook due to the lack of volunteers at camp.
Council has informed us that they will be re-evaluating these the situation based on Covid-19 variants and the number of cases in a county. We will keep you informed and will be updating this notifications when we find out more information. Please stay tuned for future communication about exactly how this will look. We thank you in advance for your patience.
Thank You,

Caddies are girls who will be going into 7th-12th grade in the fall, with the proper training.
Download all of these forms for Caddies. Please send all of them in at the same time.
The Junior Caddie Training (Program Aide Plus) through the council is full for this year. At this time the only other option is to run the training yourself. Please see information under the Caddie page.
Because of this we can only accept Junior Caddies who already have the training or are signed up for the March training. All others will be placed on a wait list. We are very sorry for this situation, unfortunately it happens every year, more girls wish to be trained than training spots held. If your daughter falls in this situation please let your voice be heard with the council.

General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION - CADDIE/CAMPER BEHAVIOR Expectations
- Caddies and campers are to be respectful and considerate.
- Caddies are in charge and, as such, expected to take on this responsibility in a respectful, yet authoritative manner.
- Caddies must be willing to work with girls and set boundaries on what campers can and cannot do.
- On day one, Caddies will set boundaries related to how much they are willing to let the campers touch or hang on them. (We discuss this in depth with the Caddies, but sometimes the Junior Caddies need help setting these boundaries.)
- Caddies are not the campers’ peers; they are the leaders-in-training and, as such, expected to act appropriately.
- The Caddie Director is available as needed during camp to support Caddies and address Caddie-related issues as needed. We encourage you to use her in this manner.
CAMP DISCIPLINE AND ENVIRONMENT - GUIDELINES FOR ADULT VOLUNTEERS
All planning and training is to meet the goal of a fun-filled, safe experience. Invariably, challenges will arise with individuals or a group of people. While camp is fun for most, weather and the age of our campers play a huge role in their behavior and in our own behavior:
- For consistency and ease of gathering and moving from activity to activity, use the camp-wide quiet sign (raised right hand with GS sign). No talking is required. The sign will spread as others see and follow suit. We use this to both quiet and gather the girls. Raised voices are for fun, not discipline.
- Buddy system always - adults and Caddies should never be alone with a camper.
- Set a positive tone from the beginning as to who is in charge and what the unit rules are. Expect campers to acknowledge and respect Caddies as leaders. Expect a positive experience, and most will have one.
- Not everyone wants to participate in every activity; often times a camper will vocalize negatively if they are unhappy. Do what you can to encourage participation, a positive attitude, and good behavior. Remind campers we are all trying new things and that it is ok to like something that another might not. We learn by doing.
- Reference the Girl Scout Law, along with rules and expectations agreed to in each unit, at the beginning of camp. Remind the campers of both as often as necessary.
- Deal with challenging behavior quickly and discreetly. If a situation escalates, or you feel uncomfortable handling it, contact the Camp Director immediately. She is willing and equipped to do so.
- We do not expect you to discipline campers or Caddies, but we do ask you to encourage positive participation and contact the Camp Director (for campers) or Caddie Director (for Caddies) as quickly as possible when they are needed, to either assist you or take over and resolve a situation
