CAMPSITE 411 Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, Inc. What is provided for us at each campsite/cabin? Although each living unit (tents or cabins) is unique, you can expect to find certain unit equipment in every unit which includes: cast iron for cooking over the fire (one large and one small each dutch oven and frying pans); one rake, metal bucket and broom; one-two shovels; fire extinguisher; three dish pans; one trash can; clearly posted directions to the nearest hospital and clearly posted emergency weather procedures. Some cabins come equipped with almost everything you need for your weekend including kitchens, others have basic cots or mattresses for sleeping only (you cook over the campfire). Most of our tent units have flush toilets, but some have latrines so read the description for each unit closely! Be sure to bring basic cleaning supplies with you each visit (to wash dishes & wipe down appliances and counters and clean the bathrooms). Each unit has a posted kaper chart for use when preparing for check out at the end of your visit. When do we submit our troop camping application? Changes to registration effective 4/1/2016. Registration opens on April 1 each year for Troop Camping for the entire Girl Scout year (October thru September). Be flexible! List more than one choice in each category camp, campsite, accommodations and dates. Make sure to list the camp trained adults on your application. When are the units available? Always double check the online availability to see when units are available. Council staff host events on site and many weekends are reserved for these programs. Cabin units are open year-round. Platform tent camping begins the first weekend of March and ends the weekend before Thanksgiving. How accessible are the units for people who use a wheelchair or have limited mobility? Accessibility is different at each camp and unit. Each campsite and many of the program areas are listed by camp and campsite so that you can determine if the unit will meet the needs of everyone in your troop/group. Every effort is made to accommodate needs if we have prior knowledge of the need, however we cannot guarantee that every area of the camps is barrier free or wheelchair accessible. Troop Camping Confirmation and Arrival Information Approximately 2-3 weeks after the opening registration date troops will receive an electronic confirmation with a payment coupon. One week before your troop camping weekend, the camp ranger will send you an electronic welcome to camp requesting your arrival time and confirming its your arrival.
