Camp Adventurers
Camp Theme: Challenging You to
Challenge Yourself
REGISTRATION OPENS: APRIL 1
Camp Adventurers is an older girl weekend camp open to girls ages 11-18. This camp offers older girls the opportunity to attend camp, not work at camp.
Friday night, Girl Scouts will set up their sleep spaces, have a
flag ceremony, eat supper, and participate in a camp wide orienteering
activity. Saturday, we'll start with a flag ceremony and breakfast.
After making their bagged lunches, campers will spend their Saturday
participating in one of four adventure activities with their
patrol:
HIKING PATROL
This patrol will hike on the Appalachian Trail from Pearisburg
to Angel's Rest, for some spectacular views of the New River and
Wilburn Valleys. This is a challenging hike with 1,650 vertical feet
of rise over a 1.5 mile distance, but worth it for the views at the
top.
CAVING PATROL
This patrol will be visiting the New River Cave, where they
will be led through this gem of Giles County by a member of Radford
University Outdoors Programs. This activity will require the
participants to be able to squat, crawl, and be comfortable in tight
spaces.
CHALLENGE COURSE PATROL
This patrol will visit the campus of Virginia Tech to complete
the Venture Out Challenge Course. The Venture Out Challenge Course and
Portable Initiatives offer a variety of activities through a series of
fun and unusual games and problem-solving obstacles. While completing
this activity, participants learn valuable information about
themselves, effectively working with one another, and functioning as a
team.
CAMP SKILLS/CAMP COOKING PATROL
This
patrol will be staying in camp on Saturday, but that doesn't mean they
will be missing out on the fun. This patrol will be learning and
applying practical camp skills like knot tying, lashing, safe kniFe
skills, gourmet outdoor cooking, and various methods of fire
building.
There will also be some downtime for campers to
play games, complete arts and crafts projects, color, or just relax.
Campers will play camp wide games, put on a skit at the Saturday night
campfire, and sleep a second night in her tent. Sunday morning is a
Scout's Own ceremony, more camp wide activities, reflection time, and
program before our closing ceremony at 1:00 PM.
