Who Should Come? Everyone should come! Why?
- Because this is a once a year opportunity to BE the camper instead of the person in charge!
- Because your fellow volunteers are putting this on and teaching what they enjoy – connect with them!
- Because there is sure to be a moment that somebody will make you smile or laugh, and that feels good.
It’s just plain fun.
New for this Year - - What would a fair be without a chance to win a blue ribbon? Going with our theme…
we are offering an entry point to some friendly, creative competition centered upon a Girl Scout theme.
GS Collections (Select up to 5 of your best items to represent your collection)
GS Fine Art (photography, ceramics, painting, etc. with GS as the focal point)
GS Craft (swaps, decorated items, sewn items, scrapbook, etc.)
GS Themed Baked Goods (must be non-refrigerated)
Important!
Because of space limitations we are limiting entries to only 10 per category.
You may enter two categories max.
Indicate your interest to enter in the post registration Medical Needs / Buddy List Survey.
Adult Retreat Mission Statement: The GSNETX
