Camden – Girl Scouts of Maine (GSME) announces that the summer camp season will offer a new Discovery Day Camp session for girls in grades 1-4 in Camden, July 14-18, 2014.

Through age-appropriate programming guided by the Girl Scout mission, day camp introduces girls to the great outdoors, helping them develop camping skills, become more confident, and learn to work with others. Girls will enjoy nature activities, swimming and water fun, crafts, and will make new friends, all under the watchful eye of trained staff.

Discovery Day Camp will run Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The fee is $170 for Girl Scout members, $350 for non-members. Non-members can take advantage of member pricing by joining Girl Scouts for $15.

GSME also offers resident camp sessions at Camp Pondicherry in Bridgton and Camp Natarswi in Baxter State Park with the Trail Master program, a progressive program structured by age and interest so girls can develop a solid foundation of outdoor skills. Girls can choose from general sessions with traditional camp activities, specialty camps like horseback riding, rock climbing and archery, or leadership programs like Counselor-In-Training.

GSME will be holding Camp Open Houses on June 8 from 1-4 p.m. at Camp Pondicherry and Camp Natarswi. For more information about available dates and to register for camp, visit www.girlscoutsofmaine.org.

Girl Scouts of Maine builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. GSME provides services and support to over 14,000 girl and adult members statewide, and operates service centers and shops in South Portland and Bangor.
