The Girl Scouts of Greater New York abides by the program and safety standards of GSUSA and the New York State and Dutchess County Departments of Health. WELCOME! Dear Girl Scouts, Although it may be cold right now, we are in the midst of planning for beautiful warm days spent on the lake fishing, splashing around in the pool, watching beautiful butterflies and going on adventures! We are so excited for this year’s summer program. In this brochure you will find three amazing options for enjoying Camp Kaufmann: • Mother and daughter duos as well as troops will love spending time together during our Weekend Getaways. • Girls can also enjoy a more independent experience during our Mini-Sleepaway Adventure sessions. • The whole family -- including dads and brothers -- will enjoy Family Fun Day Sunday day trips. Camp is a quintessential part of the Girl Scouting program. Juliette Low understood the importance of teaching girls environmental advocacy through outdoor programming. Camping was among the first Girl Scout programs ever! Some things have changed over the years. For instance, we now have a far better understanding of our impact on the environment and what we can do to make our world a better place. However, we’ve always known that girls truly become advocates for the environment once they learn to appreciate it. Camp Kaufmann exposes girls to the fundamentals such as hiking, outdoor cooking, archery, ropes courses, fishing, boating and more. During these activities girls gain valuable skills, but also experience team building, leadership roles, a better understanding of the natural world, taking action, and sisterhood. This year the Girl Scout Council of Greater New York is celebrating our 100th birthday! We’ve come a long way since 1913, but one thing hasn’t changed: we will always build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place. We hope you join us this summer! Sincerely, Karen Lundgard Camp Director SUMMER 2013 AT CAMP KAUFMANN: PAGE 3 WEEKEND GETAWAYS What is a Summer Weekend Getaway? Summer Camp Weekend Getaways are for girls ages 5-17 accompanied by their mom, other significant adult female or troop leader. All girls must be registered Girl Scout members. If you haven’t registered for the year, please submit a registration form with the $12 fee when you sign up for camp. Summer Camp Weekend Getaways offer lodging, meals and a wide range of activities led by experienced staff members. Campers arrive on Friday between noon and 5pm and depart on Sunday at 11 am. On Friday, the pool will open at 1pm and close at 5 pm. Arrive at camp by 4 pm to enjoy a swim. Fishing, crafts and group games will also be available on Friday. Tours of Camp Kaufmann will be available for first time campers. When are the Weekend Getaways? This year, you can choose from six different Weekend Getaway sessions:June 7-9, June 14-16, June 21-23, June 28-30, July 5-7 and July 12-14. Who can go to a Summer Weekend Getaway? All registered Girl Scouts are welcome at a Weekend Getaway. Girls may participate in one of two ways: through “Mom and Me” experience (mothers with daughter(s)) or the troop experience (volunteers with girls). How much does it cost? Everyone who registers by April 15th will get our early bird special price of $110 per person and after April 15th the cost will be $130. Our commitment to provide high standards, good value and a traditional Girl Scout Leadership Experience means that we try to provide an affordable experience to all Girl Scouts. It’s important to start budgeting for camp early and include your girls in the process. For information on financial aid and saving ideas, please visit www.girlscoutsnyc.org. Do I get my own cabin? During Weekend Getaways you reserve beds, not cabins or houses. If your group does not completely fill a cabin or house, we will pair you up with other troops or other “mom and me” participants. Please talk to your entire group in advance. Everyone must come prepared to share space and get along. Campers will be placed in a house or cabin according to their age. Daisies and Brownie girls will be given the first opportunity for houses and log cabins. Juniors will mostly be given log cabins. Cadettes and Seniors will mostly be given wooden cabins. Please expect to share accommodations with other campers, and have the wonderful opportunity to make new friends! Please make sure you and your troop come to camp prepared to live in a cabin in the woods with no T.V. You will eat traditional camp food and try new activities with your girls. You will also share your space with your new friends and have an amazing adventure to last a lifetime. For more information on lodging, visit www. girlscoutsnyc.org/camp. SUMMER 2013 AT CAMP KAUFMANN: PAGE 4 WEEKEND GETAWAYS What about orientation? When you arrive at Camp Kaufmann your entire group will attend an orientation before beginning activities. Every camper young and old, new or returning, will attend. The orientation will give you valuable information about activities and safety. If you arrive before 4 pm on Friday, you will have the chance to swim after our orientation. If you arrive after 4pm your swimtime will be on Saturday. Other activities will be available on Fridays, and the Trading Post will be open then. For new campers, there will be Camp Kaufmann tours scheduled throughout the day. You will receive your complete weekend itinerary at your orientation. Is transportation provided? Although the council does not provide transportation you still have several options to get to camp. • Drive to camp - we have plenty of parking! • Order a bus for your group. Visit www.Girlscoutsnyc.org/camp for a full list of approved vendors. • Take the train! Take the Metro North – Harlem line to the Patterson Station. Camp is about five minutes away. The Pawling Taxi Company can get you to camp from there. Their number is 845.877.9595. What are my program choices? A weekend at Camp Kaufmann is packed with fun and challenging activities. Come prepared to spend most of the day outside, rain or shine. We want to offer all campers an experience that is full of fun and learning. Please look at the program choices carefully and work with your girl(s) to decide your program focus. If you are coming as a troop and all of the girls are the same age, they should decide together what they want to do and mark it on the application. If your troop is made up of girls of different ages please have one volunteer for each age group. If two different age levels decide to stay together, the older girls will do a younger girl activity. Everyone will get a swim time and free time in their program. All girls will receive a Camp Kaufmann patch. Do I stay with my girls all of the time? Yes! Girls must be supervised at all times by accompanying adults during Summer Camp Weekend Getaways. Girl Scout Troops must have a minimum of two adults with them. Additional adults should be added in accordance with Safety-Wise guidelines. For troops attending Summer Camp Weekend Getaways, one adult accompanying the troop (who may also be the leader) must hold current certification from one of the following: American Red Cross, American Heart Association First Aid and Community CPR, or be a physician, registered nurse, licensed nurse, paramedic or Emergency Medical Technician. The certificateholder must be at least 18 years old. A copy of the certification should be attached to the Camp Application Form. What about Saturday Night themes? The Girl Scouts of Greater New York is celebrating its 100th birthday in 2013! This year’s Saturday night theme will be “100 Years of Sisterhood.” Girls will exchange swaps, have a dance party, eat yummy snacks, play games, and most importantly, enjoy each other’s company. SUMMER 2013 AT CAMP KAUFMANN: PAGE 5 WEEKEND GETAWAYS What are the Program Track choices? If your girls are bridging to another level, you can decide to sign them up for their new age level or keep them at their current level. Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies will travel through the same track. Each program track has a unique focus where your girls will have fun and learn new skills. All campers will be given a scheduled swim time regardless of their track. Daisies and Brownies (K-3rd Grade) Choice 1: Hiker Campers will learn trail signs, find out what to pack for a hike, make a snack and go on a hike, while learning how to “Leave No Trace.” Campers will also go boating on Lake Carola and learn how water pollution affects our world. Choice 2: Bugs Visit our famous bug man and see bugs in action. Girls will enjoy the frog pond and butterfly garden! Girls will then go on a “bug hike” and see how many bug houses they can find. Girls will also learn about the lifecycles of fish while fishing in Lake Carola. Juniors (4th and 5th Grade) Choice 1: Green Thumb Girls will learn about gardening while visiting our green house. Each girl will plant a seed to take home with them. Girls will also go on a plant and tree identification hike. Girls will continue their adventure in the trees on the low ropes course! Choice 2: Camper Campers learn how to plan a camping trip, pitch a tent and roll a sleeping bag. Campers will then go on a hike and set up camp, learn how to build a fire, make a one pot meal, cook bread on a stick and learn about “no trace camping” Additionally, girls will get to try for a bulls eye on our archery range! Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors (6th-12th grade) Choice 1: High Adventure Working with other girls, campers will create a definition of sportsmanship and experience high adventures on the ropes course and archery range! Choice 2: Girl Scout Ways Girls will have the chance to be leaders within the camp community. They will learn how to teach songs and activities and then have the chance to lead younger girls. They will make desserts and throw a dessert party as part of the evening program. Girls will plan and lead a closing ceremony for Sunday morning.

Our Mini-Sleepaway Adventure Camp is for Brownies, Juniors, and Cadettes. Mini-Sleepaway offers girls the chance to experience a world of adventure and discovery. Girls will spend their days learning leadership skills, making friends and sharing the excitement of going away with other girls. Campers will have cook-outs, participate in team-building activities, and enjoy traditional Girl Scout activities. We welcome non-registered girls to take part in the program as long as they submit a registration form with their application. Girls should be encouraged to invite their non-Girl Scout friends. Girls will live in tent cabins with their peers and our experienced camp counselors will guide them through activities. Throughout the week, girls will work towards badges and will be involved in Take Action projects! When is Mini-Sleepaway Adventure? There are six Mini-Sleepaway Adventure sessions, and four program tracks, depending on your girl’s level: • June 7-9 Petal Power for Juniors • June 14-16 Take Action for Juniors • June 21-23 Beautiful Butterflies for Brownies • June 28-30 Night Crawlers for Cadettes • July 5-7 Petal Power for Juniors • July 12-14 Take Action for Juniors Who will supervise my daughter? For Mini-Sleepaway Adventure, we have a team of trained female counselors who live at the camp site with the girls, and who escort them to and from activities. Mini-Sleepaway Adventure campers will be supervised at all times by counselors and staff members. Mini-Sleepaway Adventure supervision is always in accordance with Safety-Wise, American Camping Association (ACA) and Dutchess County Department of Health guidelines. How will my daughter get to Camp Kaufmann? Parents have two options: • Option 1: Drive your daughter to camp • Option 2: Take the Metro-North railroad to Patterson, and take a cab to camp. Girls will be going in a group and will be chaperoned by counselors. Where will my daughter sleep? Girls attending Mini-Sleepaway Adventure will be staying in Oakridge, which is our “rustic” unit. Please note that the unit has no electricity - the girls will enjoy a true outdoor experience in our tent cabins, which have canvas walls and a wooden roof. Girls will cook all of their meals in the unit and will learn various outdoor cooking techniques, as well as safe fire-building. Can my daughter bunk with her friends? Some girls come to Camp Kaufmann individually, some come with their best friend, and others come with their troop. Our aim is to give girls new experiences and for them to make new friends. Each girl can choose one camp buddy if requested beforehand. We do not place entire groups together, experience tells us that girls have a more well-rounded experience when they meet new girls, and do not stay with the girls they know. SUMMER 2013 AT CAMP KAUFMANN: PAGE 9 MINI-SLEEPAWAY ADVENTURE What is the cost of Mini-Sleepaway Adventure? This weekend experience is $200 per girl. Please encourage your girls to save up for their own trip to camp, and offer to match whatever they save, as this encourages girls to take responsibility. For more information on saving for camp and financial aid, please visit www.girlscoutsnyc.org. What activities will my daughter do while at Camp Kaufmann? Every Mini-Sleepaway camper will enjoy the traditional activities of swimming, hiking, campfires, singing and making lifelong friendships. Additionally, each age level will enjoy a specific environmentally themed program. You will see that each program is specifically designed so girls can earn the Naturalist badges and participate in activities from the It’s Your Planet Love It! Journey books. Juniors - Petal Power: June 7-9, July 5-7 Uncover the science of flowers and plants while exploring our greenhouse and butterfly garden!

Juniors - Take Action: June 14-16, July 12-14 Girls will explore the challenges facing our environment today and learn how to take action! They also will experience our climbing wall and archery range. Juniors who come to this session will fully earn the Camper badge, and will work on parts of the Agent of Change Journey book.
