The Great GSNYPENN Camp In Camp Out
We are at capacity for the ‘Great NYPENN Camp In Camp Out’ and will not be adding more participants. This being our first foray into a large virtual program, we want to ensure that the event goes smoothly and will evaluate afterwards to improve upon program delivery if necessary. Technology can be challenging, and we want to maintain the integrity of our programming as we navigate through this new normal of online services.
As this event was so popular, we will be hosting another virtual Camp In Camp Out event in July, so be sure to check our social media and webpage for updates
Thank you for your understanding as we strive to provide the best quality programming during these trying times.
Note: this is a virtual program that requires a Zoom account and internet access to participate. We’ve found it works best to have Zoom downloaded and ready before accessing a call. Visit girlscouts.zoom.us to set up an account. A basic account is free. You can join from a computer, smartphone or call-in from any phone. Complete Zoom meeting details will be shared in the event handbook.
Join us for the first-ever Great GSNYPENN Camp In Camp Out on National Get Outdoors Day! Build a blanket fort in the comfort of your own home or pitch a tent in your backyard and join girls from across the GSNYPENN Council for a virtual campout.
Our evening starts at 5 p.m. with an opening ceremony and concludes with star gazing and songs around a virtual campfire! Throughout the program you’ll have the opportunity to participate in all-camp activities, choose your own adventure, make some crafts, and snack on s’mores—all from your own home!
We have three levels of participation:
Basic: $5 per person
This includes the virtual program with private links to Zoom activities, an e-copy of the event handbook, and a patch to be mailed to you after the event.
