Guide College Camp

The Theme was based around the idea of the girls attending college for the weekend.

The classes were based on requests by the girls.

Each girl was given a “day timer” upon arriving at camp and a photo ID card.

The girls were divided among three patrols but to go along with the theme they were called “sororities.”

The sororities picked their own name and made a motto that they felt best represented themselves.

Duties at this camp were considered part of “campus life.”

As the girls completed classes there were given stickers to track their accomplishments on their “transcripts.”

At the end of camp each girl was given a “diploma.”
