Adventure through camp after dark and become an explorer of the night! Tap into
your night vision while learning about the stars and take part in some spooky
nocturnal land and sky science. Discover different nocturnal animals, try out
glow in the dark science experiments, chart the star above, see camp in a
different light on a night hike, and leave with a nocturnal snack.


**Girl Scouts currently in grades 6-12 are invited to be helpers and
assist with activities for this event. This is a great way to
complete Program Aide and/or Counselor in Training hours!
This is also a great way to
have fun, strengthen their leadership skills, and meet new friends while working
directly with younger girls. Program Aide and/or Counselor in Training Workshop
attendance is required before the evening of the hike.

 

**Older girls 6-12 who only want to volunteer for the event do not have to pay the
registration cost. Older girls who only want to volunteer should email their
name to kwolf-berg@gsofsi.org.

Older girls 6-12 who want to volunteer AND ALSO attend one of the timed sessions
should register for their session and email their name to the program team at

customercare@gsofsi.org so they can also volunteer.

Know Before You Go

This is NOT A DROP OFF EVENT. Adults are required to remain with their Girl
Scouts. As required by Volunteer Essentials and Safety Activity Checkpoints,
adults attending this event are responsible for their troop or individual Girl
Scout behavior. During non-drop off Girl Scout events, adults attending the
event are responsible for the safety and well-being of the youth that are in
their care during the event. Do not leave your Girl Scouts in the care of other
adults at the event that are not part of your troop or directly related to the
child.

* TROOP LEADERS, PARENTS & CAREGIVERS: IMPORTANT: Girl Scouts must have
troop leaders or registered family adults supervising the group at all times
during the event. Troop Leaders: if you are registering your troop, please
follow ratios of 2 unrelated adult volunteers for events/travel. All Girl Scouts
must be of the appropriate age and registered members in order to attend.

* Activities will take place outside, so all participants should wear weather
appropriate clothing. Closed-toed shoes, socks, and a refillable water bottle
are required.

Sessions begin at 20 minute intervals (sign up for a start time): The event will last around an hour or more and includes the night hike and additional stations.
