Programs For Girls Entering Grades 6-12

Trail Blazers

Participate in a program just for campers your age - swimming, boating, arts & crafts, nature and weekly, themed activities (as described above for grades 1-5). You’ll also have opportunities to build leadership skills that you can use year-round and during your week at camp. Each week offers a slightly different program so that you can select the experience that most interests you. Here’s what’s included each week:

Session 1: Day Camp PA Specialization
Session 2: Leave No Trace
Session 3: PA Zink Specialization
Session 4: First Aid and CPR Training
Session 5: Babysitting Certification
Session 6: American Red Cross Guard Start

Program Aide Core Training is NOT required to attend these programs. By participating in any of the weeks of Trail Blazers, you will complete the requirements for PA Core Training.  Already completed PA Training?  As a Trailblazer, you'll build on those skills and have an opportunity to put them to use at camp. In other words, you won't be "doing the same thing again" or "doing the same thing each week." To register for Trail Blazers, complete the regular camp registration process and be sure to mark “Trail Blazers” as the program name.

Day Camp LIT

As a LIT (Leader In Training) at Day Camp, you’ll have the option to participate in the specialty programs offered to our Trail Blazers (explained above). At the beginning of each session, you’ll meet with our Teen Program Director to create your schedule. Each LIT will design a weekly internship experience working with a program area of interest (waterfront, arts, sports, etc.) and working with our youngest group of campers. You’ll spend the rest of your time at camp enjoying activities with other LITs, providing leadership at some all-camp activities, and having a blast at camp. After attending two sessions of Day Camp LIT, you will have completed the requirements for the GSUSA LIT Pin. To register for Day Camp LIT, complete the regular camp registration process and be sure to mark “Day Camp LIT” as the program name.

Internships

Interns at Girl Scout Day Camp are girls entering grades 11 and 12 who have previous leadership experience and experience working with children. Interns work with our Teen Program Director at camp to design an internship experience that meets the goals of the intern and allows the intern to make a valuable contribution to the camp community. At the end of your internship, you’ll be provided with written documentation of the details of your internship experience as well as a reference letter from the Camp Director and Teen Program Director.

To register for this internship opportunity, follow the general registration procedures and indicate “Internship” as the program name. Once your registration for the Internship program has been received, an Internship Application will be mailed to you. Or, you can download the Internship Application and send it in with your registration. You must also ask 3 people to complete the Internship Reference Form. Not everyone who applies will be selected for this internship opportunity.
