Getting Ready for Girls Week at Camp Ondessonk

Hey all you happy campers!  

Girls Week at Camp Ondessonk is coming up in just 10 days! To help with your packing and planning, check out this awesome video made by some sister Girl Scouts and Camp Ondessonk campers:

Deadline Extended for Resident Camp at Touch of Nature!

Breaking News!   Registrations have exceeded the minimum capacity for Resident Camp at Touch of Nature in Makanda so the deadline to sign up has been extended until June 20!

At Touch of Nature, Girl Scouts can enjoy making new friends, having outdoor adventures and making memories that will last a lifetime.  Girls will stay in cabins with air conditioning and electricity on Little Grassy Lake. 

Touch of Nature Mini Camp
July 26-29, 2016
Cost: $250

Livin’ Like Bigfoot (for girls entering grades 2-3) 
Have you ever gone out into the woods and felt like you were not alone?  Well, maybe that is because Bigfoot has been in the area.  You would never know because he is so good at leaving no trace.  During camp you will learn the ways of Bigfoot and how to be untraceable in the great outdoors.  When you are not swimming, cooking over the fire or discovering the wonders of camp…you will go Bigfoot hunting!

Water World (for girls entering grades 4-5)
Did you know that your body is made of at least 70% water?  So why not beat the summer heat with this water world of fun…at camp!  You will get to swim in the lake, go whale hunting, go for a pontoon boat ride, canoe, go stand-up paddle boarding and so much more.  This could be the big splash to your summer.

Choose Your Own Adventure (for girls entering grades 6-12) 
Looking for a fun filled summer that is designed by you?  Well then, this is your camp.  Girls will get to pick what happens during their time at Touch of Nature – whether it’s swimming every day, paddling out to the jumping rocks, stand-up paddle boarding, rock climbing or even leading a program.  Come teach us what fun looks like.  This will be a story that everyone will want to hear.

Touch of Nature Week Long Camp
July 31-August 6, 2016
Cost: $375

Fairies, Gnomes and Wizards (for girls entering grades 2-3)
The magic of the forest comes alive with Fairies, Gnomes and Wizards.  Come to camp and build fairy houses, make magical potions and learn how to help wounded animals.  We will also get the chance to meet live owls and go on an owl prowl.  This is the chance to leave the Muggle world behind and embark on a magical journey.

Zombie Apocalypse Training 2.0 (for girls entering grades 4-5) 
How much do you love your brains?  Well, zombies do.  So come to camp so you can learn how to protect, build and rest those brains.  During your stay you will learn survival skills (like shelter building and traps), protection (like archery), how to live off the land and still find time to have some good old camp fun.  If you think you have what it takes to be a survivor then show us your gray matter.

F.L.O.W. – Future Leaders of the Outdoor World (for girls entering grades 6-12)
You are our only hope for the future.  So come to camp and show us what you’re working with.  As the leaders of the new world, start by helping guide what happens at camp.  You will design the week of camp and even get the chance to lead a program or two.  If improving your outdoor skills or helping lead others into the outdoor is what you are looking for then don’t let this chance get away.  You can design your own extreme summer getaway – anything from rock climbing, zip lining, pontoon boating, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, to archery and so much more.  If you can dream it, we will try to make it happen!

Resident Camp 2016 Breaking News!

Exciting news! GSSI will be collaborating with Touch of Nature in Makanda and Camp Ondessonk in Ozark to offer Girl Scout Resident Camp in Summer 2016! We also are in negotiation with a third potential collaborator. Stay tuned for more information about these resident camp and outdoor experience opportunities to come!

Plan a Girl Scout Day Camp for Summer '16 in Your Area!



WOW!
Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois already has 18 Day Camps scheduled for 2016.  The most ever...thanks to all of our wonderful day camp volunteers who are committed to providing girls a fun and safe camp and outdoor experience.

Where
Belleville, Charleston, Collinsville, Columbia/Dupo, East St. Louis, Effingham (2), Edwardsville, Granite City, Greenville, Highland, Massac County, O'Fallon, Staunton, UPAC, Waterloo.

In addition, we have two staff run STEAM day camps that will be held at Camp Torqua.

It's Not Too Late
We would love to expand our volunteer day camps so more girls can experience the fun of camp and outdoors.  But to do this, we need the committment of a Day Camp Director to make it happen.  Day Camp directors must commit to two meetings with a GSSI staff member prior to camp, run camp (either day camp or twilight camp), follow GSSI rules and guidelines, and meet one time after camp to just talk about how things went.  Volunteers from their area would also be needed to meet girl/adult ratios.  GSSI Program Managers Carolyn Miener and Emily Stanley will help make it easy and fun for Day Cmap directors and volunteers.  We would like to have day camps here:

Crawford County area
Jefferson County area
Lawrence County area
Marion County area
Randolph County area
Richland County area
Shawnee SU area
Wayne/Hamilton/White County area

Camp Cedar Point (Makanda, IL), Camp Chan Ya Ta (Worden, IL), Camp Torqua (Edwardsville, IL), Camp Wassatoga (Effingham, IL) & Camp Whispering Oaks (Salem, IL) are open year round.

There's Still Time to Sign Up for a Girl Scouts STEM Day Camp

 

 

 

 

Put some STEM in your summer! GSSI’s STEM Explosions 2 and A Mini STEM Explosion Day Camps are open for registration until June 23.

STEM Explosions 2: Camp CSI
Grades: 4-12 (Fall 2014) • July 21-25, 2014 • Camp Torqua, Edwardsville, IL

Join us on a week long adventure into the world of science, technology, engineering and math with a focus on crime scene investigation. We will perform experiments, learn from experts and put the pieces together to solve a high profile crime. Every good detective needs a break now and then, so we will take a day and travel off-site to refresh and recharge ourselves. Of course, our STEM Explosions camp would not be complete without a few “exploding surprises” and traditional camp activities.


A Mini STEM Explosion!
Grades 2-3 (Fall 2014) • July 24-25, 2014 • Camp Torqua, Edwardsville, IL

 Brownies love STEM, too! Join us on a two day adventure into the world of science, technology, engineering and math. During this two day camp you will enjoy amazing hands on science experiments, robots and, of course, some things that “explode”. Since we are at camp, we will also include some traditional camp activities like outdoor cooking, games and songs.
