Welcome to Camp! For nearly 100 years, Girl Scouts from across our council have spent their summers at Camp Molly Lauman. Whether you like to spend your days hiking and adventuring, making art, or splashing in the pool, there is something for everyone at camp – and everyone belongs. Whether it will be your first or your 10th time at camp, everyone who drives under our archway gets to experience the camp magic. We try new things, gain independence, and build friendships while also building fairy houses, campfires, and of course, epic s’mores.

short mini-session or a full week (or more), or even come on the weekend with your family or troop. Tiered pricing and financial assistance are available – see page 5 for more information! It’s also okay if you’re not yet a registered Girl Scout; we can assist you with that too. We encourage you to talk with your family when deciding which session to attend—camp is most successful when campers and adults make the decision together. You can check out a quiz on camp readiness by scanning the QR code. I’m always happy to chat with a family or camper and help find the best fit for you to explore your horizons.

Growing up at Girl Scout camp gave me the confidence to grow from a nervous first-time camper into a confident leader and adventurer, and I am so grateful for those experiences! Each summer is a new opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime. Our counselors travel from all over Ohio and the world to give our campers the best week ever – and they can’t wait to meet you!

Yours in camp fun, Megan “Willow” Reardon Senior Program Manager, Overnight Camp mreardon@gsoh.org

Camp Activites Each camp has activities that relate to the special theme you signed up for. Your counselors will have amazing surprises planned for you when you arrive, but you also get to help plan the camp week of your dreams by voting for some of your activities and planning a delicious campfire cookout menu. You might even earn a badge or two while you’re at it! All campers also have plenty of time to do traditional camp activities like: Swimming Arts and crafts Exploring nature Singing traditional camp songs Playing games Meeting friends old and new!

Life in the Woods Campers live in a group with other girls who have signed up for the same program. Each unit has sleeping quarters for 16-24 campers, outdoor latrines, a hand washing station and a picnic shelter. Campers also have access to a private changing area in each unit if they wish to use it. A central shower house is available, which all campers have the option to use on each full day of camp. In case of severe weather, indoor lodges are available as shelters. We have four types of sleeping structures:

PLATFORM TENTS are where most campers sleep. They are heavy canvas structures with wooden floors, four beds, and screened openings. Flaps can be rolled up to allow for light and ventilation.

CABINS have lights, screened windows and four beds. They have electricity, so you might want to bring a small fan to help keep you cool!

YURTS are a cool cross between a tent and cabin. They have ceiling fans, lights, screened windows, and four sets of bunk beds.

Our LODGE is a large open room. Campers sleep on folding cots and have access to indoor bathrooms.

Camp Staff Camp staff come from around Ohio and the world and go through a rigorous selection, screening and training process. Many staff members are aspiring teachers, outdoor educators, or medical professionals. Some are even former campers! They work at camp because they love having fun and seeing your campers grow and thrive in the safe environment they help create. Except for campers who sleep in the lodge, staff members do not sleep in the same quarters as campers. Counselors stay in tents or cabins near the center of the unit where they can easily monitor everyone. At night, counselors will check to make sure that everyone is settling in and often read stories or sing each tent to sleep. They are always in earshot and ready to help. Camp administrative staff will reach out if your camper is having any issues that you should be aware of! 3

What’s Cooking? Meals at camp are kid-friendly and healthy, and we can accommodate most common allergies and dietary restrictions. Most meals are served family-style in the camp dining hall. Campers also enjoy campfire cookouts, where they’ll get to help plan the menu and prepare the meals. Typical meals include pizza, chicken nuggets and mac and cheese, French toast sticks and bacon, and lots more. There’s always a salad or breakfast bar available and a sandwich station too! Campers have access to fruit and snacks like pretzels or granola bars if they need a bite to eat between meals.

Camp Friends Forever! Bring a Friend! You can request a buddy* to bunk with you during your time at camp. To be bunk buddies, you both must be registered for the same program, and both must request each other by name, not troop number. Buddy requests are made through the CampDoc system after registering for camp – more information can be found in our Overnight Camp Success Guide. *Why just one buddy? Most campers stay in four-person tents or cabins and groups of other sizes cannot always be accommodated. If you have more than one friend coming to camp with you, you’ll have plenty of time to hang out with them during all your daytime activities. After all, part of the fun of camp is meeting new friends! However, we want to make sure your campers are comfortable and ready. Contact the camp director if you have specific questions.

Camping Solo? Most of our campers come on their own, so don’t worry if you sign up without a buddy! You’ll live with a group that signed up for the same session as you, so you’ll already have lots in common. Camp counselors are great at helping everyone to get to know each other with fun games and activities. You’ll want to bring a notebook and pen to get contact info from your new camp friends at the end of the week! 4

Tiered Pricing We believe that every camper, regardless of financial circumstances, should have the opportunity to experience camp. While the cost to maintain camp continues to rise, we understand that families have different abilities to meet summer camp costs. For this reason, we use tiered pricing.

Tier One

Tier Two

closely reflects the full cost of camp, including staff expenses, property maintenance, program experiences and supplies, and food.

is a partially subsidized cost for camp, for families that can pay a little more, but not the full cost of camp.

Tier Three is heavily subsidized through grants, the generosity of donors, and through participation in product programs.

Choose the tier that works best for you and your family. Fee choice is on the honor system, and no financial documentation is required. All campers have the same experience regardless of the tier chosen, and camp staff have no knowledge of which tier their campers selected.

Financial Assistance Financial assistance can be requested by visiting gsoh.org/residentcamp. Requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. We try to support as many campers as possible through our Financial Assistance program and therefore may not be able to honor your full request amount. A $50 deposit is required to reserve your space at camp. Financial assistance cannot be used to cover this deposit. If you will be applying for financial assistance, please select the Tier Three price at registration. Once your space is secured, you can make payments at your own pace from the time of registration until June 1 in your myGS Account.

How to Register Online registration starts at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 4, 2026. Registration is completed online via myGS – you’ll need to create an account if you don’t already have one.

Bus Transportation Hopping on a bus ride to and from camp is fun for campers and easy for caregivers! Friendly camp counselors supervise the bus ride and assist you with checking in. Your camper can catch the bus in Sunbury or at the Watermark office in Columbus. Exact bus stop locations and times are included in the Camp Success Guide, which can be found at insert URL here. The bus fee is $50 for all bus stops. Pre-registration is required, and fees are paid at the time of registration. Bus registration closes the Wednesday prior to your camp session, or when the bus reaches capacity. One-way bus journeys are available on request but you still must pay the $50 fee.

Want to work at camp? We’re hiring! Camp Staff – Minimum Age 18 If you want to spend your summer laughing, singing, teaching, and being a professional role model, camp is the place for you! We’ve got jobs ranging from counselors to lifeguards to kitchen staff and more, with pay based on position and experience. It’s the perfect resume builder to enhance careers in fields as wide-ranging as education, healthcare, management, and more! Staff should enjoy working with children, be at ease in an outdoor environment, and expect to work hard as part of a diverse team. Staff live on site at camp all summer (May 30-July 25), with time off on weekends and July 4. Visit gsoh.org and search for Work at Camp to apply!

Volunteers Needed! At times camp needs additional adult volunteer support filling in for specialized roles such as our kitchen staff or Healthcare Supervisor to assist with staff time off. If you have experience in food service or healthcare and have availability to spend between a few days and a week at camp, we’d love to hear from you! Roles are limited and appointed on an as-needed basis, but can include a fee waiver for a camper to attend camp if applicable. 7
