CORE Camp is a great opportunity for troops to camp for a weekend while the resident camp staff is there to provide programming and support. This is a perfect weekend for new troop leaders, a troop’s first campout, or any troop that just wants to have a fun and relaxing weekend! Throughout the weekend, camp staff will provide activities for troops that require specialized training such as swimming in the pool, boating, the low ropes challenge course, and archery. Crafts, hiking, and a campfire with songs will also be available! More detailed information will accompany your registration confirmation packet.
GSNEO supplies all materials, meals, snacks, and trained staff.
Required: An Outdoor Essentials (OE) trained adult must attend with your troop. If you do not have an adult with OE training in your troop, you must assign one adult attending camp to take an online CORE Camp-specific outdoor training no later than 2 weeks prior to attending CORE Camp. More information will be included in your registration confirmation email.
Each troop must provide a currently certified First Aid/CPR trained adult. Troops are required to meet adult to girl ratio according to GSUSA policy. Troops may not bring more adults than required by ratio.
- Brownie ratio - 2 adults:12 girls, plus one additional adult per 6 girls.
- Junior ratio - 2 adults:16 girls, plus one additional adult per 8 girls.
- Cadette ratio - 2 adults:20 girls, plus one adult per 10 girls.

All girls and adults attending must be GSUSA registered members and all adults attending must be GSNEO approved volunteers who have completed an adult membership registration including a background check from GSNEO. Space availability may require troops to share a site with another troop.
