Twilight Camp 2020 Planning Everything we use to plan and run camp is stored in Microsoft OneDrive. You'll need a personal Microsoft Account to edit the files on OneDrive if you don't have one. Let Nick know the email address associated with your account and he'll grant you access. Twilight Camp Plan - Milestones and Meeting Goals
Twilight Camp Promotion - Troop Presentations Nick has some older girls running around town (click here for schedule) to deliver a promotional presentations to Daisy/Brownie/Junior troops.
Site Activity Planning Please use the planning documents linked below to think through your activities. Focus on any prep you need to do before camp (example: cutting wooden dowels for the air cars in 2018), any supplies you need to order (example: Tanabata bamboo fence in 2019), what needs to happen to set up each day (example: starting a fire for pie irons in 2018), any reset between groups (example: filling water balloons in 2018) and any end-of-day/end-of-camp tear down (example: releasing butterflies in 2016). Add a short "script" with steps on how to run the activity. These don't need to be perfect, there's no inspection, no auditing! We want to avoid paying overnight shipping on supplies in July or panicking in camp cause a craft needs two hours to dry, or something like that!
Girl Scout Badges Sometimes it's possible to complete all or part of a badge at Twilight Camp. It's easier for Brownies and Juniors than the other level. Two resources to assist with research: The GSUSA Badge Report lists every badge currently available. It only lists high level requirements though, and lacks detail on how to complete. There's a library of scanned PDFs of all the Brownie/Junior Cadette badges on our OneDrive that includes detailed requirements for each. Finally, www.badgefairy.com has a listing of all the "Council's Own" badges around the country. Activity Planning and Experience Design Purchasing Twilight Camp Activity Supplies You can purchase supplies for Twilight Camp under Girl Scouts of MN and WI River Valley's tax-exempt status. Print the instructions below and show the Certificate of Exemption to the cashier when you check out. Turn in your receipts to the treasurer for reimbursement. Site Activity Planning Worksheets (we haven't assigned physical sites yet until we have a better sense of who needs what, e.g. if Renae needs to be close to the beach to build a hovercraft or something)
Sunday July 19 2020 | Camp Setup and Caddie Training The goal for Sunday is to figure how where you're putting everything, let Andrew know if you need something, test any activities that need testing, and give the Caddies a preview of your site. The park is pretty quiet on weekday mornings, we've never had an issue leaving decorations/stations out, but do reccomend you consolidate things to a picnic table or two and throw a tarp over them.
