Types of Camping
Day and Twilight Camping
Day and Twilight Camping is generally a summer program run for three to five days for not more than seven hours per day under the approval and direction of GSNEO or as a council sponsored program. This creative outdoor experience is generally theme based creating a common thread for the activities. Girls may sign up as individual campers or go with buddies and are put in units of peer group living. The council assists with training the staff and approving the facilities and site. A day/twilight camp may be at a council-owned or approved site.
Troop/Group Camping
Troop/Group Camping is a year round camping experience of 24 or more consecutive hours, planned and carried out by a group of girls and their advisors/leaders at a council property or council-approved site. Please fill out the Troop Camping and Day Outing Request form to reserve a site. The GSNEO Trip Application must be used for troop camping off GSNEO Property. Forms must be mailed or faxed no walk-ins or phone requests accepted.
Core Camping
Core Camping is a troop camping experience in which girls live at an established site in peer groups. Council provides the site, facilities and core staff to deliver pre-planned programs. Each troop is responsible for their own plans, adults and girls providing the trained adults required for an outdoor overnight activity. Troops may or may not choose to take advantage of the activities offered by the core staff. Core Camping opportunities are available through out the year.
Resident Camping
Resident Camping is a camping experience in which campers live at an established site. Girls sign up as individual campers or go with a buddy. The girls and their counselors/leaders plan activities, taking advantage of the resources available at the campsite. All summer resident staff are specially trained. Resident Camp opportunities are listed in the Summer Camp Guide (coming soon!).
