Blue Bay on Your Block

$100 per week Girl Scout
$125 per week Non-Girl Scout

What will a typical Blue Bay on YOUR Block Schedule look like for my daughter?

Each day, Monday through Friday your daughter will participate in a group based on her grade as of September 2020.  The group will be no more than 16 girls, facilitated by two camp staff.  Multiple groups will be formed as necessary.

During this session girls will interact with staff and friends with activities based on the theme for the week.  Each day will start with a welcome, sharing time and then an activity of the day.  Activities will vary each day to include games, arts & crafts, nature, camp craft and STEM throughout the week.

7:00pm each night, girls will be invited to take part in an “All Camp Activity” where all age groups will gather to join in on the fun together. 

Evening Activities each week to include:

• Unit Campfire (Live on Zoom)
  
• Interest Groups (Live on Zoom)
  
• Camp Blue Bay Cookout (Pre Recorded in private FB Group)  
  
• All Camp (Live on Zoom)
  
• Final Campfire (Pre Recorded in private FB Group)
  

In addition each girl/parent will have the option to join a private Facebook group for your daughter’s specific group for the week.  Here you and your daughter will be able to post pictures of projects and activities completed at home, share ideas, post questions and access additional at home activity resources.

How will all of this work?
