SPRINGFIELD - There is still
time to register for summer camp experiences offered through Girl
Scouts of Central Illinois. All girls—not just registered Girl
Scouts--are welcome to attend Girl Scout summer camp. Campers
may choose from a variety of sessions centered on adventures like
archery, swimming, hiking, horseback riding, teams courses, a
climbing wall, traveling, the arts, and much more. Camp options
include day camp, mini resident camp and resident camp. Financial
assistance is available for any girl who wishes to attend Girl Scout
summer camp but is unsure her family can afford it.

According to More Than S’mores, a new camp-oriented study
from the Girl Scout Research Institute, girls who regularly spend
time outdoors eclipse their peers who spend less time outdoors in
environmental stewardship, and they more readily seek challenges and
are better problem solvers—all essential traits to twenty-first
century leadership. Girl Scouts are also twice as likely as non-Girl
Scouts to say they take action to protect the environment (51
percent versus 23 percent) and that they’ve had a personal
experience in nature that has made them appreciate it more (49
percent versus 29 percent), according to the report.
