3 WELCOME TO CAMP KAUFMANN! Our staff is committed to bringing your girls a quality program that helps them become stronger leaders and advocates for their environment. Camp is a place for you and girls to share an experience unlike most you could find in the city. We help girls discover their natural world, and connect with other girls and outdoor enthusiasts in the hopes that they will take action in their own communities. The Girl Scout program helps girls meet 15 essential leadership outcomes: Girls develop a strong sense of self. Girls develop positive values. Girls gain practical life skills. Girls seek challenges in the world. Girls develop critical thinking. Girls develop healthy relationships. Girls can resolve conflicts. Girls advance diversity in a multicultural world. Girls feel connected to their communities, locally and globally. Girls can identify community needs. Girls are resourceful problem solvers. Girls advocate for themselves and others, locally and globally. Girls educate and inspire others to act. Girls feel empowered to make a difference in the world. As you read through this brochure, you ll notice that there are lots of ways to experience our camp. No matter the length of the trip, girls will certainly benefit from it. We hope to see you and your girls soon! Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Karen Lundgard Ren Myers Director, Camp Programs Manager, Camp Programs x x297 klundgard@girlscoutsnyc.org rmyers@girlscoutsnyc.org Camp Kaufmann Program Guide: Sept 2014-May 2015 page 3

4 OUR PROGRAMS You will notice that our book is separated by three seasons (fall, winter and spring). In each of the seasons you will find the following program options: Troop Camping Troop leaders may take their girls camping for a weekend to Camp Kaufmann from September- May. Troop camping is a weekend event up to 72 hours in duration, planned and carried out by a troop at camp. The troop leaders reserve the housing and plan for meals and activities. For any camping trip, the troop must have on certified first-aid and cpr certified adult for each group up to 44 campers. Each house or unit must have its own first aid/cpr certified adult. If you plan to use a fireplace, fire ring or seasonal unit, you need a camp certified adult (see training section). If you are staying in a lake house and do not plan on using a fire place or pit, then you will only need an adult who has taken the Overnight Adventures and Beyond training (see training section). Transportation is not provided for these weekends (please see our transportation section). Outdoor Classrooms for Troop Camping Troops can choose to enhance their experience by hiring one of our experienced counselors to run a specific activity for them. You will notice that there are different classrooms based on the season and they include different prices and lengths. If this is your first time participating in these programs you will want to purchase a base patch for each of your girls. They are available at our camp trading post for $8.50 each. They will receive a free patch at the end of each of their outdoor classrooms, which can velcro onto the base patch! Do-It-Yourself Programs in a Box for Troop Camping Troops can choose to enhance their experience by renting a program in a box for the weekend. Each season features different boxes. These boxes include all of the programs you will need for the weekend including earned badges for the group. Special Events These events are open to all ages. Each Special Event weekend includes lodging, activities, and badges. The troop is responsible for preparing their meals and for cleaning up after themselves. We always include a SWAP making station and actual swapping time, so girls can get to know girls from other troops during these weekends. Transportation is not provided for these events (please see our transportation section). Girl-Only Weekends This is an independent experience for older girls. Girls come without their leaders or moms and meet girls from other troops. The girls are provided everything including: programming, transportation, food, experienced counselors and more. Girls work towards specific badges and Journeys. Day Trips Girls can enjoy these trips with their moms or with their whole troop (sometimes even their families). These programs are great way for girls to enjoy camp for the first time! All of the programming, supplies and food are provided. Transportation is not (please see our transportation section). Encampments Camping events organized and operated by Troop Camp-certified adult volunteers from a geographic subdivision of the council (i.e. a borough or service unit) in which several troops participate. The program is planned and implemented by volunteers; some of the planning and scheduling may be done by the individual troops. Camp Kaufmann Program Guide: Sept 2014-May 2015 page 4
