Junior, Cadette, and Senior Girl Scouts, come ready to enjoy the dark summer night sky by exploring and sleeping in hammocks or pop-up tents underneath the stars. Enjoy a cookout dinner before exploring camp after dark. Exam the night sky through a powerful telescope and learn about constellations to see which ones you can find. You will also make a constellation-themed art project, play glow games, and adventure on a night hike where you will use your five senses to guide your way. In the morning we will enjoy sleeping in and eating a simple breakfast before we reminisce about what the evening taught us.
Facilitated by GSGWM team member(s). Designed for troops, individual youth participants with an adult chaperone, or individual youth participants on their own.
