Program Description: Welcome to Camp Bliss, where relaxation meets adventure! Join us for a rejuvenating week designed for Girl Scouts seeking tranquility, creativity, and connection with nature. Enjoy spa-inspired activities like nature journaling, stretching, meditation, and crafting DIY relaxation products. Then bring your favorite book and cozy up in a hammock amid the serene woods for peaceful reading time. Leave feeling refreshed and empowered as you embark on a journey of relaxation and friendship.
Unit Life:
- Unit assignments are carefully determined based on program needs, participant numbers, camper ages and available beds, ensuring a comfortable and well-organized experience for all campers.
Hidden Lake offers three types of units with mattresses on cots or bunkbeds: platform tents, lean-tos, and small cabins. Each unit includes 4-8 sleeping structures, with most structures sleeping four people, and some larger lean-tos accommodating up to six. Staff will be housed in one structure within the unit, while campers will be paired or grouped with fellow program participants. We will do our best to honor buddy requests within the unit while also encouraging new friendships and group bonding.
Each unit also features:
- A kitchen shelter pavilion with picnic tables, benches, a fireplace, and a spigot for drinking and washing water
- Two latrines with handwashing stations
- An outdoor fire pit
- A shared shower house is located nearby and is available for all camp units.
Payment information:
- A $100 non-refundable deposit is required to secure camp registration. The balance may be paid in installments of any amount, with the balance due in full by June 17th, 2025. All payments are non-refundable after June 17th. Registrations not paid in full by June 18th may be canceled. In the case of such cancellation, any payments, minus the $100 deposit will be refunded to the original form of payment. Registrations made after June 17th must be paid in full at the time of registration.
Paperwork Information:
- All campers must provide annual health information, in accordance with Department of Health, American Camp Association, and GSNENY policies. The camp team needs detailed health information to ensure they can meet your camper's health needs. Some forms require a signature by a healthcare provider. Any medication (including over-the-counter items) that a camper will receive while at camp must be sent in the original packaging with signed orders from a doctor. After registering for camp, you will receive further information regarding the required forms and how to submit them. All camp paperwork, including health histories and immunization records, must be submitted no later than Tuesday, June 17, 2025 to allow time to review. Any registration for which all completed paperwork has not been received by that date is subject to cancellation.
Next steps:
- Within 7 days of your registration, you will receive a Camper and Caregiver Handbook which will help you prepare for your summer at camp. You'll also receive links to the forms you'll need to complete and information about pre-ordering items from our Trading Post.
