Summer camp 2022 is on! Now more than ever, it is a crucial
part of Girl Scouting. Being outdoors and away from technology will
allow campers to continue building connections and social skills,
discover themselves while exploring nature, and challenge themselves
in new ways. It’s an opportunity to be bold, be brave, and unlock
endless potential.
This summer is going to be a little different, like most things this
past year. However, the magic of summer camp will remain – friends,
activities, counselors, and kayaking. Your support ensures Camp
Welaka will be a safe inspiring space for girls to experience
outdoor adventure this summer.
Girl Scouts has a long tradition of getting girls into nature.
Whether they are learning basic survival skills, going on a hike or
cooking over a campfire, every girl deserves the chance to explore the
great outdoors.
Why is summer camp important?
-
Camp builds problem-solvers! Girls with more frequent outdoor
experiences are more likely to seek challenges and are better at
solving problems—qualities that will help them embark on a lifetime
of leadership, both academically and personally in the future.
-
Camp exposes girls to new experiences! Girl Scout camp gives
them a chance to build on their skills or try new outdoor
activities. Stimulating activities like camp over the summer months
also helps prevent summer learning loss.
-
Camp builds courage and confidence! Research shows spending
time in nature improves concentration and creative reasoning.
Outdoor experiences also help promote healthy social development and
increase her self-esteem.
Whether a girl’s favorite camp memory is roasting marshmallows,
canoeing, or nature hikes under the moonlight, she is better because
of it. Please consider donating
to Girl Scouts of Southeast Florida today to make Summer
Camp her greatest memory of 2022.
You can make a difference today by giving the most wonderful gift of
having fun with friends again while safely hiking, canoeing, learning
outdoor skills, and so much more. Thank you for your continued support
and for always being our partner in offering girls opportunities to
thrive and grow. It means more than you know.
