Each and every summer, beginning in 1965, girls from Girl Scouts - Sybaquay Council have packed their bags and headed north to Camp Pokonokah Hills in beautiful Wisconsin to experience the traditions of camp - nature, swimming and boating, singing by the campfire, making crafts and meeting new friends.

We regret . . .

to announce that due to low registration for Camp Pokonokah Hills, at this time Sybaquay Council has greatly reduced the 2008 summer camp opportunities at Camp Pokonokah Hills. A quality Girl Scout camp program provides girls with opportunities to build new skills, get a sense of community, and develop an appreciation for nature. With our current registration numbers, we will be unable to deliver on all of these elements for all of our sessions.

If your Girl Scout was registered for one of the sessions that has had to be cancelled, you should be receiving a letter to that effect. In addition, unless you notify us by May 12 that you would like to transfer your Girl Scout to another Sybaquay Council opportunity (URBAN opportunity or another Pokonokah trip) you will receive a refund check for all of the money you have paid toward this session of camp. Click on this link to see what sessions are still available for Camp Pokonokah Hills.

Girl Scouts - Prairie Winds Council has invited Sybaquay Girl Scouts to attend their camp, Camp River Trails, at an "in-council" or "in co-op" fee. Also available are the other co-op camps (Camp Far Horizons/Girl Scouts - Green Hills; Camp Dean/Girl Scouts of Fox Valley; and Camp McCormick/Rock River Valley Girl Scouts). These camps, however, will charge Sybaquay Girl Scouts the out-of-co-op fee. For information on Camp River Trails or the other co-op Girl Scout camps, go to www.girlscoutco-op.org. On this Web site, you can check out the camp sessions and register on line.

If you have any questions or need further assistance finding a camp opportunity, please contact our director of program by phone at 847-741-5521, Ext. 7130 or by e-mail at kay@gs-sybaquay.org.
