Mom & Me
This introduction to Girl Guide camping is the perfect
way for moms and
daughters to spend some quality time playing games, making
crafts,
singing songs and having fun! Both of you are participants!
Of course,
it doesn’t have to be a mom who comes along. Think
about other
significant adult females in your daughter’s life
such as aunts, step moms,
grandmothers, or an older sister! The accompanying adult
needs to be
18 years of age or older. There is a maximum of 3 girls
per adult.
Explorers Programs
Our Explorers programs offer a mixture of traditional and
innovative
camping activities. These are the ideal programs for the
girl who:
•
“Likes everything.”
•
Wants to learn about a new topic like nature, astronomy,
night time,
heritage or technology.
•
Eager to try sleeping out in a tent.
•
Is coming to camp for the first time.
•
Likes to do all the camp things but stay indoors at night.
•
Wants to learn about self-esteem in a self development program.
Explorers can expect to take part in games, crafts, nature studies,
swimming, boating and more!
Adventurers Programs
Our Adventurers programs offer focused learning opportunities
in a
specific program area. These camps are a great way to develop
a
specialized skill and build self-confidence. Some Adventurers
Programs
are pre-requisites for more advanced skill-development
programs.
While each of our Adventurers Programs has a specific skill-development
focus, they balance out learning with fun, crafts, games
and swimming.
Adventurers programming streams include:
•
Archery
•
Canoeing
•
Canoeing & Kayaking
•
Cycling
•
Excursions (preparation for Voyageur programs)
•
English and Western Horseback Riding (Basic & Advance)

Kaleidoscope Programs
Our Kaleidoscope programs are for girls who want to express
their
creative side through the Arts. Program streams include
Arts,
Drama and Music Theatre. While these Arts topics are the
focus
of each day’s programming, they’re rounded
out with plenty of
other fun activities such as swimming, games and crafts.
Voyageurs Programs
Embark on a journey with our Voyageurs programs! We offer
immersive canoe and cycling experiences designed for
11
to 16
year olds. These programs are excursion-based, and most
days
are spent away from camp developing skills while on the
journey.
Some of these programs have pre-requisites for participation
listed on the program chart.
Leadership Development Program
These programs are targeted at teenaged campers and will
assist young women in developing leadership skills, including
supervision, motivation, conflict-resolution, and teamwork
as
well as camping skills. The Leadership Development Programs’ experience
fosters confidence and character education that is
transferable to all aspects of life.
Family Camps
Bring the whole family and join us at camp! Your days can
be
as structured or as unstructured as you wish. Family Camp
combines the freedom of a cottage holiday with professionally
delivered summer camp activities. We encourage
grandparent-parent-grandchild camping families to foster
genuine once in a lifetime memories! Please bring along
one
adult for every 3 children attending. Family accommodations
are available indoors, in our tents or your own tents.
All meals
are provided at Doe Lake or bring your own meals at
Camp Adelaide.
