Summer Camp

“Only Girl Scouts, with its scale and time-honored place in society, can launch this [Year of the Girl] initiative. If not us, who? If not now, when? When girls succeed, so does society. We know that together, we can get her there.”- Girl Scouts of the USA Chief Executive Officer, Anna Maria Chávez
“Girl Scouts is at the forefront of building girl leaders. Our girls will understand that they matter. And when they dream their future, they see a world of shared leadership: where the values of courage, confidence, and character really do make the world a better place.”-Girl Scouts of the USA National President, Connie L. Lindsey

Dear Girl Scouts, Family, and Friends,We are now a part of a nationally historical moment in the life of Girl Scouts. It’s 2012 - marking our 100th Anniversary and our self-declared “Year of the Girl!” Girl Scout camping experiences are a foundational part of our mission which is to build girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. It will be a year to remember for every camper as they recall the summer of the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouts!
If you mention camp to anyone, all sorts of traditional images come to mind like campfires, sticky and gooey s’mores, swimming, silly songs, horseback riding, nighttime adventures, and of course, making friends. Many of us stop there however, and make the assumption that camp is about the activities that girls do, or the facilities that are provided for them. Those are definitely important aspects of camp, but camp is so much more! Girls who attend any Girl Scout camp make some of the best friends of their lives and learn what real friendship is all about. It is an exercise in self-reliance and social learning. All the activities at camp directly translate into concepts like community, confidence, self-discovery, character, and courage. It is a unique combination of fun, friendship, the power of girls together, and being in nature providing girls with a tangible self-esteem boost. Camp is a place where girls can find the community that they have been searching for.
Girl Scout camp teaches girls independence, leadership development, self confidence, the importance of teamwork and cooperation, environmental stewardship, and new skills that make them stronger. Of course, we have to mention that girls have a GREAT time developing all of those skills! As a Girl Scout Council, we are committed to giving every girl the chance to obtain these skills by providing camp scholarships (camperships) to every girl who needs one.
Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa offers camp opportunities for girls going into grades 1-12 in the fall of 2012 at three resident camps: Joy Hollow (Westfield, IA), Camp Sacajawea (Boone, IA), and Camp Tanglefoot (Clear Lake, IA). Girls can sign up for any of our camp sessions as an individual or with a friend. Even girls who are not currently registered Girl Scouts can attend camp!
You can register for any of our camps using the form in the back of this book, or on our website, www.girlscoutsiowa.org. Please contact us with any questions that you may have. We are here to make sure that you have a great experience and we look forward to seeing you at camp this summer!
Yours in Girl Scouting,
The Camp Directors

Camp Pricing: It is Your Choice!
Girl Scouts believes that every girl, regardless of financial circumstances, should have the opportunity to experience camp. Tiered pricing gives each family the opportunity to choose which pricing option works best for them.
We are continuing a three-tier program for pricing options at camp. You may choose the tier that is most suitable for your family. no matter what tier is chosen, all information is confidential and the quality of the camper’s experience will be the same.
Tier 1 represents the most heavily subsidized fee. This is the standard price we have set to make camp available to all girls. Tiers 2 and 3 help to cover more of the direct costs of your camper’s stay at camp and are voluntary choices for families who have the financial means.
Tier 1 The most affordable fee. Scholarships are also available for families who are in need of financial assistance. Use this tier as your base number if you are applying for a Campership.
Tier 2Partially subsidized by Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa.
Tier 3 The least subsidized fee covering many of the direct costs for your individual camper to participate in the camp session of her choice.
Payment may be made by check, credit card, Girl Scout Cookie Dough, Campership (application on page 33-34), or a combination of those options.
A non-refundable deposit (minimum of $30) must accompany each summer camp registration, with full payment being due an average of four weeks before the camp session begins. The Campership Application can be found on page 33-34 or by going to our website, www.girlscoutsiowa.org.
Every girl has the opportunity to experience camp!

A C.I.T. is a Girl Scout Senior or Ambassador who participates in our extremely successful Leadership Program directed toward her future in camp counseling, teaching, or other human service fields. Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa is proud to offer one of the most successful C.I.T. programs in the nation. Based upon the resources of Girl Scouts of the USA, this Leadership Program is completed over a two summer period.
C.I.T. I: Tier 1: $400 Tier 2: $450 Tier 3: $500• C.I.T. I: The focuses are experience in
responsibility, program goals, contemporary issues, leadership styles, child development, outdoor living skills, group dynamics, conflict resolution and program interaction with campers.
C.I.T. II**: Tier 1: $150 Tier 2: $200 Tier 3: $250• C.I.T. II: The skills learned in the first year,
augmented by program immersion with campers, are expanded upon through skills specialization, safety practices, and leading activities. As a further progression, individuals who successfully complete the program may apply to work at a Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa camp as an “Apprentice Counselor.” This allows these outstanding young women the opportunity to be employed at an earlier age.
**C.I.T. II tiered pricing schedule is significantly lower in order to assist families with girls going through the entire program. If you have the means to do so, please consider making an additional contribution to our campership fund (see page 29) to help off-set the actual cost of camp as reflected in C.I.T. I tiered pricing schedule.

Experience in child development, outdoor living skills, leadership styles, contemporary issues, program goals and outcomes, and responsibility are the core of this Leadership Program.
A summer as an L.I.T. is not required before young women become C.I.T.s; however, it will provide the foundation for C.I.T. I & II. Leader-In-Training is a three week program that runs concurrently with the Counselor-In-Training Leadership Program.
WRANGLER IN TRAINING (W.I.T.)JULY 15–AUGUST 3* grades 9 -11

COUNSELOR-IN-TRAINING I & II (C.I.T.)JULY 16-AUGUST 4* grades 10 - 11
19 days / 17 nightsA C.I.T. is a Girl Scout Senior Ambassador who participates in our extremely successful Leadership Program directed toward her future in camp counseling, teaching, or other human service fields. Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa is proud to offer one of the most successful C.I.T. programs in the nation. Based upon the resources of Girl Scouts of the USA, this Leadership Program is completed over a two summer period.
C.I.T. I: Tier 1: $400 Tier 2: $450 Tier 3: $500• C.I.T. I: The focuses are experience in responsibility,
program goals, contemporary issues, leadership styles, child development, outdoor living skills, group dynamics, conflict resolution and program interaction with campers.
C.I.T. II**: Tier 1: $150 Tier 2: $200 Tier 3: $250• C.I.T. II: The skills learned in the first year, augmented
by program immersion with campers, are expanded upon through skills specialization, safety practices, and leading activities. As a further progression, individuals who successfully complete the program may apply to work at a Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa camp as an “Apprentice Counselor.” This allows these outstanding young women the opportunity to be employed at an earlier age.
**C.I.T. II tiered pricing schedule is significantly lower in order to assist families with girls going through the entire program. If you have the means to do so, please consider making an additional contribution to our campership fund (see page 29) to help off-set the actual cost of camp as reflected in C.I.T. I tiered pricing schedule.
LEADER-IN-TRAINING (L.I.T.)JULY 16-AUGUST 4* grade 9
19 days / 17 nights
Tier 1: $400 Tier 2: $450 Tier 3: $500A Leader-In-Training (L.I.T.) is a Senior Girl Scout who is taking her first step to becoming a camp leader. She has a desire to work with children, be a leader at camp and among her peers, and is committed to being a good role model for younger Girl Scouts. Experience in child development, outdoor living skills, leadership styles, contemporary issues, program goals and outcome, and responsibility are the core of this Leadership Program.
A summer as an L.I.T. is not required before young women become C.I.T.s; however, it will provide the foundation for C.I.T. I & II. Leader-In-Training is a three week program that runs concurrently with the Counselor-In-Training Leadership Program. __________________________________________
*nOTE: C.I.T and L.I.T. sessions run from July 16 through August 4; C.I.Ts and L.I.T.s will leave camp during the session break July 27-29.

Health Services
2 8
Health SupervisorAll camps have a qualified health supervisor on site. A doctor is on call and medical facilities are readily available. Parents will be notified in the event of a serious illness or injury.
Health ScreeningGirls and adults will go through a brief health screening upon arrival at camp. Girls and adults found to have a high temperature or contagious illness/disease will be sent home. All participants are checked for head lice during check-in at camp and if found, the camper will be sent home for treatment and must be cleared by a doctor before being allowed back at camp.
The camp health supervisor and/or Camp Director reserve the right to refuse admittance to any girl/adult who does not meet acceptable health conditions.
MedicationThe health supervisor will administer prescribed and over-the-counter medications. MEDICATION MUST BE IN ITS ORIGINAL CONTAINER and will only be administered to the specific person to whom it was prescribed.
Supplemental InsuranceSupplemental insurance for health and accidents, while a girl is at camp, is provided through Mutual of Omaha.
Refunds Due to IllnessPartial refunds are made only if a girl becomes ill and cannot attend her camp session as scheduled.
A physician’s note is required and a request for the refund must be submitted in writing to Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa within one week after the camp session. No refunds are given if a girl returns home during camp because of illness, injury, homesickness, inappropriate behavior, and/or any other circumstance.

Do you know someone - or are you someone - who would like to make a difference in the life of a girl this summer? Summer camp staff must be 18 years old. We are currently hiring for all positions including:
• nurses* • counselors • lifeguards • kitchen staff
* One of the most important and critical jobs to fill at camp is the health supervisor which requires highly specialized training. It has become increasingly difficult to find nurses who can live and work the full summer at our camps. We are looking for several people who would “job share” these very important paid positions at camp. Camp-age daughters of the health supervisor can attend camp at a reduced fee. To be eligible you need to be a registered nurse, EMT, or paramedic who would consider living and working at camp for at least one full week. For more information, please contact your specific Camp Director. Contact information can be found on page 3.
To apply for a position at one of our camps, you can find the camp application on our website (www.girlscoutsiowa.org) or contact our Camp Directors. Contact information is found on page 3. Come and experience an amazing summer!
Camp Employment
The Camp Director reserves the right to request that any child who is ill or unable to adapt to camp living be returned home.
Dear Mom & Dad,You’ll never guess how many friends I’ve made. My counselors are so cool - I can’t wait to tell you all about it! xoxoxoxo
Dear Mom & Dad,

Our camp scholarships are calledCAMPERSHIPS.
Camperships are available for those who are unable to pay for all or part of the camp fees. The funds for these scholarships come from foundations, organizations, and individuals. Will you consider contributing to a campership this summer – and help send a girl to camp?
Camperships provide a memorable and life-changing experience for girls who may not otherwise be able to attend camp.
Support at any level will help to give girls this valuable opportunity. Please consider the impact of the following levels of support:
$ 1,200: A week of Resident Camp for four girls
$ 600: A week of Day Camp for three girls
$ 300: A week of Resident Camp for one girl
$ 200: A week of Day Camp for one girl
A core value of the Girl Scout program is to include children from all economic circumstances. The camp community is enriched and strengthened by diversity. Girls need your support more than ever! In 2011, requests for campership support rose from $50,000 to $65,000.
