Program Descrition: This exciting week of art and
exploration invites Brownie and Junior Girl Scouts to a week of
adventure and creativity in the great outdoors! Participants will
explore the beauty of nature while expressing their artistic side
through using their imaginations. Each day will feature nature
scavenger hunts, stunning art projects, and unique crafts using
outdoor materials.
Highlights include a field trip to the Paul Smith's Visitor
Interpretive Center, where campers will learn about local
ecosystems and wildlife. From painting with natural
brushes to building bird feeders, this immersive program fosters a
deep connection with the environment and nurtures artistic expression
in every scout!
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.
- At Lake Clear there are 2 types of units with mattresses on cots
or bunkbeds: lean-tos or small cabins.
-
Lean to Units - Each lean-to unit includes 6-8
sleeping structures, with most structures sleeping four people
each. Staff will be housed in one structure within the unit,
while campers will be paired or grouped with fellow program
participants. A communal bathhouse is located nearby with flush
toilets, shower stalls and potable water for washing and
drinking.
-
Cabin units - Each cabin sleeps 10 - 16
campers, with a separate room for staff. Cabins have one single
occupant bathroom (with shower stall, flush toilet and sink),
electricity and bunks beds with mattresses for campers and
staff. A shower house with multiple private stalls and flush
toilets is available nearby.
- We will do
our best to honor buddy requests within the unit while also
encouraging new friendships and group bonding.
Payment information:

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:

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
