Also, a list of the specific programs being offered at Camp Bear Creek and Camp Pennyroyal in 2001 can be downloaded right now. Although age is one factor in readiness for camp, a girl s maturity level and personality are more important indicators. Talk with your daughter about camp and see if she wants to go. Camp Staff Staff at both camps are mature, responsible individuals selected for their special abilities and experience in working with children and camp programs. All staff participate in an intensive pre-camp training and ongoing trainings throughout the summer on topics such as child and adolescent development, camp skills, Girl Scout program, healthcare, and safety practices and procedures.
Most counselors are college students or recent college graduates.
Many staff members have experience working in schools, recreational facilities, or childcare centers. We also hire international counselors each summer. These young women greatly enhance the camp community. Campers and staff all benefit from the experience of sharing culture and program ideas from many countries.
