Girl Scout Resident Camp Opportunities in Southern Illinois!



All girls entering second through twelfth grade in Fall 2014 are invited to attend Resident Camp with Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois (GSSI)!  Non Girl Scouts are welcome! 
 
GSSI Resident Camp is held each summer at beautiful Camp Cedar Point in Makanda, Illinois! Camp Cedar Point consists of 250 acres of scenic woods on Little Grassy Lake situated in the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge - 15 miles southeast of Carbondale, IL.  CCP offers natural diversity, a sandy beach, hiking trails and many species of wildlife.  Facilities include two shower houses, a health center, a full service dining hall, a waterfront on the lake, shelters, hogans, platform tents and a lot of great natural space.
 
Campers stay in platform tents or hogans will other campers.  Tents have wooden floors above the ground with cots and mattresses.  Hogans are screened, wooden structures with cots and mattresses.  Girls stay in units based on age and program focus. Each unit has a cooking shelter. Friends attending the same program and session may opt to "room" together.
