The experience of a camp environment provides an ideal place for learning co-operation, enjoying the "sisterhood" of Guiding, and participating in an active lifestyle.  It is also where girls can learn to make personal decisions and develop their independence.  Camping offers girls of all ages a chance to exercise the skills they have been learning and practicing all year at their unit meetings.

All girls benefit from the opportunity to interact exclusively with other females.  Camp provides them with a protected environment where they can learn to become more self-reliant - whether it be learning to take care of their own belongings, to use a compass, to start and build a fire; or for the older girls, discussing social and female concerns away from peer pressure.

Whether in a back yard, on a farm's 'Back 40', at a regional or provincial park, or at one of our own Provincial Girl Guide campsites, camping is an integral part of Guiding.  The smell of woodsmoke, sitting around a glowing campfire, the tune of a favorite song, the sound of soft rain on the tent, the buzzing of mosquitoes, the laughter of girls and adults together in fun and fellowship are all memories that last a lifetime!
