2022 Camp Adventure Guide

This adventure starts with you. Welcome to the 2022 Camp Adventure Guide ! At Girl Scout Camp, girls follow their own convictions, take the lead in their own stories and explore all the extraordinary things they are capable of. With programs in the outdoors ranging from equestrian to robotics, and everything in between, girls have the space and support they need to grow, so they can see themselves howwe’ve always seen them. Bright. Brave. Adventurous.

When your Girl Scout joins us for camp this summer, our focus is completely on her. Camp life is unique fromhome and school—here she will hone positive characteristics that are hard to develop anywhere else. When girls are allowed time to focus on themselves and foster authentic and organic relationships with peers and adult role models, it is easier for girls to move out of their comfort zones and advance important competencies they need to be successful adults, including a sense of self. The majority of Girl Scout camp alums say their camp experience was central to the development of positive values, challenge-seeking skills, healthy relationships and leadership abilities—all components of the Girl Scout Camp experience! New this year, many of our Resident Camps will offer badge-earning opportunities so girls can further deepen their skill-building and discovery this summer. Badge opportunities are noted in green throughout the publication! Health and safety will always be our top priority at camp, and our 2022 protocols will continue to be based on the most recent guidance from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), as well as local health authorities. As needed, we will update our Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri COVID-19 Response Guidelines, based on advisories for COVID-19 mitigation. To review our current guidelines, please visit girlscoutsem.org/covid19 .

Mark your calendars—registration opens on Jan. 19, 2022 . We can’t wait to adventure together with you this summer!

Yours in Girl Scouting.
