Earth Day is Coming
Discover ways that you can save the earth every
day. Girls will explore nature in a daylong wide-game event
including games, hikes, songs, and crafts. Plant a tree! Recycle
old items into new treasures!
No Girl Scout event would be complete without swaps. Be sure
to bring these small hand-made mementos made from recyclable
materials to trade with other girls.

Resident camp open house
GSSJC has a SUPER summer
planned for Girl Scouts at resident camp this year.
Open house is a great opportunity for prospective campers
and parents to view our fantastic camps and facilities
and ask questions to the camp staff who are there to
help you.
Tour the camps and view accommodation
and activity sites, find out about the large variety
of meals served, talk with some of the returning camp
staff and meet the camp directors overseeing Camps Agnes
Arnold, Casa Mare, and Misty Meadows.
When: Sunday March
20; noon-4 p.m., from 2-3 p.m. at each camp there will
be a question/answer session in the lodge/galley.
Where: Camps Agnes Arnold, Casa Mare,
and Misty Meadows
Each camp offers varied and exciting
sessions every summer, so come and see which camp is
best suited for your daughter. A parent, guardian or
troop leader must accompany children attending open
house. There is no registration for open house; however
there will be a sign in sheet for all visitors on the
day. Please dress casually and wear comfortable closed-toe
shoes. Bring appropriate wet weather gear if necessary.
PLEASE LEAVE ALL PETS AT HOME.
If you cannot attend the day
or have further questions about resident camp, please
contact: Nicole McInnes at 713-292-0353 or nmcinnes@sjgs.org.
It is not necessary to have registered
for resident camp to attend Open House. This day is
for all prospective and returning campers, their parents,
and families. |
