GSNI camp staff will be hosting family and troop camps Fridays through Sundays throughout the summer at Camp Dean and Camp McCormick. All meals will be provided by camp staff. These meals and snacks will be a combination of family-style meals in the dining hall and unit cookouts. Camp staff will assist in cookouts. Both troops and families can participate in all available camp activities for the weekend including all facilitated outdoor activities. Core camp staff will be on site to assist groups during their weekend stay. Camp staff will facilitate outdoor skills and activities, themed arts and crafts, games, and badgework throughout their session.
Families: Each family will receive a private cabin or tent per household and share communal space, such as latrines, within the unit. All ages and family members are welcome to attend. Each family must include one relative/ guardian age 18+ as well as one Girl Scout under the age of 18. Families will utilize the Oak Grove unit at Camp Dean and Turkey Ridge unit at Camp McCormick. Camp Deans cabins sleep up to eight people. Camp McCormicks Adirondacks sleep six people. Families are welcome to pitch their own tents.
All troops and families will be sharing unit/lodge space with other groups at camp. Groups register each participant individually. The deposit for troop and family camps is $50/participant and remaining balance can be placed on payment plan. It is recommended groups register all participants early as space is limited.
Each session begins with check-in at 7 p.m. on Friday night. Check-out at 10 a.m. on Sunday.
