CAMP LINGO
Campcraft: Camping activities where girls build skills in
fire building, knife safety, knots, Leave No Trace Camping
and more.
Greenies: Girl Scouts used to wear their uniforms at
camp called greenies—dark green shorts with white cotton
blouses. Today we continue to honor this tradition with a
modern twist; each evening for dinner we ask campers to
wear khaki shorts with a white shirt.
Hootenanny: Girl Scout sing-alongs and skits take place
during this special last night Overnight Camp tradition
where awards are presented to campers.
Kapers: A kaper is the special Girl Scout way to say
“chores.” As Girl Scouts, our camps belong to all of us, and
it’s up to everyone to help keep them clean! We schedule
time for girls to do camp-wide kapers and kapers at their
cabins/units each day.
TRANSPORTATION
Me Time: Every day campers rest by having some quiet
“me” time in their unit. This time is designed for mail and
letter writing, reading books, taking naps or playing quiet
games.
