Project Title: Summer Camp Support for Low-Income Families
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Girl Scouts of Nassau County\u2019s (GSNC) Camp Blue Bay, located in East Hampton, NY, is a truly special summer camp experience. Camp Blue Bay offers campers a world-class outdoor experience including swimming, canoeing, survival skills, archery, STEM programming, various sports, arts, and so much more. Camp is an incredible opportunity for our Girl Scout campers to break away of their regular interests and truly explore something completely foreign to them. Year after year we hear parents say that their child \u2018found her people\u2019 or \u2018broke out of her shell\u2019 because of the brand-new experiences at camp. We often hear from past campers that their experiences in camp changed their life. <\/p>\n
Studies have shown that Camp increases leadership, communication, and citizenship skills (American Camp Association for more information). We believe this experience should be open to all girls, no matter the financial situation of their family. To this effect, GSNC works to facilitate scholarship and financial aid for all girls who have the desire to attend but could not otherwise afford to do so.<\/p>\n
The Girl Scout Camp experience is more important than ever for the mental and physical health of the girls we serve. In response to the recent CDC report on mental health and teen girls (See NPR article here and CDC report here), GSNC is committed to providing a camp experience that incorporates mental health strategies such as resiliency training, mental health awareness, self-esteem, and anti-bullying into our day-to-day camp experiences. Camp Blue Bay is a welcoming, safe space, that creates community by helping girls think, speak, and act in ways that ensure everyone at Camp Blue Bay feels like they belong, and can meaningfully participate in all aspects of Girl Scouting, regardless of ability, age, culture, education, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status.<\/p>\n
GSNC is requesting $10,000 to fund camp scholarships. Our goal is to send approximately 30 girls from low-income families for a week to Camp Blue Bay. The cost to attend a one-week camp is approximately $800.00 per girl.\n<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: $24,000<\/p>\n
Other Funding
\nSources For The Project (Committed & Potential): GSNC maintains a need-based scholarship fund for all our programs throughout the year funded by past donations. <\/p>\n
