Girl Scouts Louisiana East plan for online day camp

“In the interest of the health of our camp staff, girls and their families, Girl Scouts Louisiana East will not be hosting girls at our three camps in southeastern Louisiana this summer,” said Ande Kral, Girl Scouts Louisiana East marketing & communications specialist.
Girl Scouts Louisiana East includes St. Mary and St. Martin parishes.
“Instead, we will be hosting day camp online with four week-long sessions of summer fun beginning Monday, June 8,” she said.
Each attendee will receive a box of supplies in the mail, and there will be a daily virtual check in with camp counselors each morning. The girls will complete one activity per day, earning a patch or badge at the end of each week.
“The first week will be centered around puzzles and games; the second week’s theme will be fairytales and fantasy; the third week’s theme will be muggle magic (a tribute to everyone’s favorite wizard),” she said. “The final week will be all about how to pamper yourself with homemade facemasks and relaxing Tai Chi.”
Current Girl Scouts can register online as well as non-Girl Scouts. Cost of registration is $55 per attendee. For information or to register online visit www.gsle.org/virtualcamp.
Additionally, Girl Scouts Louisiana East will host two free Facebook Live camping events from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on June 20 and July 18. The first event will be for grades K-6 and the second will be catered to grades 4-12.
“Participants are encouraged to pitch a tent in their yard or build a pillow fort to sleep in,” Kral said. Register online for the free Facebook Live events to receive an activity packet and follow along with experienced camp guides.
“Can’t wait to see you there!,” she said.
