Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Council is holding a summer "Survivor Camp!"


Girl Scout Camp...Bear Grylls Style!

Girl Scouts of Silver Sage Council is holding its 2nd annual "Survivor Camp” for girls in grades 6-8 at Camp Alice Pittenger in McCall, ID. This year it will be held August 8-13, 2010.

At “Survivor Camp” girls will be in an all-girl environment as they participate in and learn about a wide range of outdoor survivor skills. They’ll find their inner “Bear Grylls” as they search for and identify indigenous plants and learn which are safe to eat. They’ll take nature hikes and learn how to preserve local animal’s natural habitats. Girls will work as a group to build outdoor shelters and obstacle courses. They’ll cook outdoors by the fire and experience Perseids, the August meteor shower on August 12!

Only 30 spots are available. Registration fee is $300. Financial assistance is available. Call Carol Ashton at (208) 377-2011 or email her at cashton@girlscouts-ssc.org to register by June 30, 2010.
