screens and enjoy a day of outdoor family fun. Don't just hear the
stories-come see the magic for yourself. We're opening our gates in
East Hampton for a weekend of exploration, fresh air, and a
"sneak peek" at the summer camp. Don't just hear about
camp... experience it.

What to Expect
If you've never been to Camp Blue Bay, this is the best way to
get comfortable. Think of it as a "try before you buy" day
for the whole family!
Meet the Experts: Our Camp
Directors and friendly volunteers will be on-site. Whether you're
worried about homesickness or curious about the menu, no question is
too small.
Explore the Grounds: Take a self-guided tour.
You can check out where the campers sleep, where they eat, and where
the adventures happen.
Hands-On Workshops: This is the
highlight! Sign up for a workshop to try a real camp activity. It's
the best way to see if your Girl Scout is ready for the "Big
Blue" life.
A Note for Families: Our workshops have
limited capacity to make sure every girl gets a high-quality, hands-on
experience. Because these spots fill up fast, we recommend RSVPing as
soon as possible to secure your preferred activity.
Please note: Workshops have a $10 per family commitment fee.
Workshops
Color Me Campy (Tie-Dye)

Master the "spiral" or "bullseye" technique! Learn
the chemistry of fiber-reactive dyes to create your own wearable camp
souvenir.
The S'more Scientist

It's more than a snack-it's thermodynamics! Learn about heat transfer
to achieve the perfect "Golden Toast" and the gooey
molecular change of chocolate.
What floats your
boat?
1:00 - 1:45
Use the STEM design process to build a
miniature vessel out of recycled materials. Test it in our "test

before it sinks!
Knot Your Average Girl Scout

From the "Square Knot" to the
"Bowline," get your hands on some rope and learn essential
