Girl Scout Leadership ExperienceCamp is full of fun activities—archery, swimming, climbing the Alpine Tower, eating in the dining hall,cooking out, and making friends. The Girl Scout Leadership Experience is central to our summerresident camp program. Through activities and experiences, girls will gain skills to become leaderswho are inspired to make the world a better place. Activities may include working on Girl ScoutJourneys, grade level awards, and patches. All campers will receive a camp patch.

Group and Troop Camp!Troops and groups, complete with leaders, spend time exploring the wilds of Camp Graham or

Camp Hardee while participating in swimming, archery, or canoeing. Campers enjoy other funcamp activities unique to the camp that the group decides to attend. Weeklong and mini-

sessions are designed for a group of girls and adults to attend resident camp as a unit. Stay for a weeklong session, arriving Sunday afternoon and

leaving Friday afternoon. For a mini-session, spend three days at camphaving a great time.

At Group and Troop Camp, girls camp in groups and attend with theirtroop/group leader or other adults. The resident camp provides a

“core” staff, including camp director, lifeguards, healthsupervisor, arts and crafts director, and dining hall staff. Eachgroup has the opportunity to plan some of their own activitiesand can also participate in some waterfront activities, sports,crafts, and all-camp sessions led by the camp staff. Meals areprepared for you in the dining hall. Training is provided forGroup Camp leaders before you’re off to camp.

new girls from other areas at camp.

Q: Can my camper attend camp with a buddy/friend?A. Yes, we would love for girls to attend camp with a buddy. Space is available on the registration

form for the buddy’s name to be listed, but a camper may request only one buddy. Both girls needto be in the same age group, and both must register for the same session. Sorry, we cannot honorrequests for more than one buddy.

Q: What are camp staff like? Are they trained?A: Camp staff are enthusiastic, talented, and caring. They are selected based on their maturity,

program experience, and genuine desire to work with girls. All counselors are at least 18 years old. Before camp begins, staff attend an intensive on-site training, which includes activityprogramming, outdoor skills, songs, games, first aid and safety, emergency procedures, teambuilding, program age level characteristics, dealing with homesickness, and much more.

Q: Are camp staff local?A: Most camp staff are from North Carolina. However, we work with Camp Counselors USA to recruit

diverse staff from many different countries around the world. These staff members share theirculture with the campers through camp activities.

Q: My potential camper has special needs. Can she come to camp?A: Each year, many girls with special needs are able to participate in our camp program. Girls must

be able to function in a 6:1 girl-to-adult ratio. Special needs may include physical, medical,developmental, dietary, behavioral, or communicative. It is our hope to be able to serve all girlswishing to attend resident camp. Providing a safe and positive experience to all campers is ofutmost importance to us. The council reserves the right to make decisions of participation based

on the extent of the girl’s special needs and our ability to meetthose needs in the camp setting, as well as other factors asdeemed appropriate. We are concerned about the health andsafety of all campers, and we want to ensure we haveappropriate professional and medical services to meet theirneeds. With regard to special diets, menus for programs areplanned with the general camp population and economy ofassociated costs in mind. Special diet requests are not generallyincluded in those parameters. We will make every attempt toprovide for special dietary needs within the scope of our regularmenus.

are not permitted to make or receive phone calls. The campdirector will contact parents if the camper has a medicalproblem, is excessively homesick, or has an emergency. Pleaselet your child know before camp that she will not be able to callhome and that you are comfortable with this. It is important thatyou do not send your child to camp with a cell phone, as there is little or no coverage—and, most importantly, it will send aconflicting message to other campers. We are partners with youin your child’s summer experience, and we hope that you willsupport us in making camp happy and fun for everyone.

Through Camp Kaleidoscope,chronically ill children are given a chance to take a break from hospitals and have fun in the outdoors. The boys and girlswho attend Camp Kaleidoscope have non-communicable chronic diseases such as cancer, asthma, kidney disease, orheart disease. Doctors, nurses, and other professionals from the Department of Pediatrics at Duke University MedicalCenter spend the week with the campers in the Kaleidoscope Program. They participate in all aspects of camp. For mostof these kids, going to Camp Graham is their first camping experience—because they cannot go camping withoutdoctors, nurses, therapists, and special equipment. Without the Kaleidoscope program, many of the children would neverhave a chance to experience the fun of summer camp!

This year, girls and boys in the Camp Kaleidoscope program will be at Camp Graham during the weeks of July 8–13, July 15–20, and July 22–27.
