We are off to Girl Scout Camp! Part One

I am SOOO excited! Why?  Well, my daughters start summer camp tomorrow!

As a kid I went to Camp Tohikanee, which is part of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania Camp Experience AND I loved every minute of it!

Tomorrow I will take them to Camp Mountain House, a wooded sanctuary located in Lehigh County minutes away from Allentown, which features shaded picnic areas and covered pavilions, spacious areas for outdoor activity, and three buildings for rainy-day fun.  All girls who attend Mountain House Day Camp (MHDC) will experience swimming on a daily basis, arts and crafts, cookouts, campfires, hikes, science, singing, games, archery (4th grade and up), and team building activities each week.

Each week has a theme so the activities will vary according to theme and girl’s choices. Girls are also divided into different swim groups and attend swimming at different times during the afternoon.

Here is the daily rundown...

7:30am: Extended Care
9:00am: Arrival
9:15am: Opening Flag Ceremony
9:30am: Arts & Crafts
11:15am: Arts & Crafts
12:30pm: Lunch/Swimming
2:30pm: Themed Activities
3:45pm: Closing Flag Ceremony
4:00pm: Departure
4:00pm: Extended Care

With all of that in mind, we are excited!  My girls are getting ready for bed as I type and their back packs are all packed and ready to go!  We have an exciting week ahead of us and I plan to keep you all updated.

  1. Tried using that promo code, and it wouldn't discount anything. So much for that! :(

    1. I'm sorry Sara...this post was written Summer 2013 and the coupon was only good for 2013. I am hoping to work with GSEP again this spring/summer and will DEFINITELY pass along any coupons/discounts they give me. Thanks Sara!
