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.
