TAC gives girls the opportunity to plan their camp adventure with the help of their leaders. It is important that the girls and adults work together during the planning process.
Select your TAC activities and pay using the Jotform. Coming soon!
How many activities to pick:
- 3 night TAC (Sun-Wed): Up to 10 activity slots (some activities may take up more than 1 time spot) plus 1 evening activity.
- 2 night TAC (Mon-Wed or Wed-Fri): Up to 7 activity slots (some activities may take up more than 1 time spot) plus 1 evening activity.
- Troops may request blank spaces for troop time. Add “troop time” to your form.
Other things to remember:
- Many troops request additional free activity times to relax or work on patches/badges. If you’d like to take free time, type it into the activity form as an activity.
- If the activity requires you to bring any materials (i.e. you must bring your own t-shirt for tie-dye), make sure you add the supplied to your troop packing list.
Activities are for all age levels and one time slot unless otherwise noted.
Multi-grade level troops should pick activities that ALL group members can participate in. We are unable to split troops into multiple groups for activities.
2024 TAC Activities:
Coming soon!
Stay tuned, manuals are coming soon!
Troop Leader Training
Leaders are required to take Troop Trips and Travel training before going anywhere outside their normal meeting place, including attending TAC. This short training can be taken online as a myGS training module here. We find that troop leaders that attend camp with this foundation have a much better understanding of some of the policies that we follow at camp (First aiders etc…).
TAC Leader Webinar
We also recommend that leaders going to Troop Adventure Camp for the first time sign up for the TAC Leader Webinar hosted in the spring – dates/ times TBA for 2024. This meeting is not mandatory, but we will review the leader manual, policies, activities Jotform, payments, and have a Q&A.
There are three types of sleeping accommodations available:
Lodges : Sleep in a dormitory style building, which includes a common living area, kitchen, fire ring, and bathroom. Lodges are not air conditioned. Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies have priority for building space, but are placed in tents once buildings are filled. Older Girl Scout troops may be placed in lodges only after Daisies and Brownie troops are placed. If the leader room is full and adults must sleep in the main sleeping area, at least two unrelated adults must be present.
Platform Tent Units: Sleep in a unit of large canvas tents on wooden platforms. Each tent includes four cots and mattresses within easy access to the kitchen shelter and fire ring. Leaders stay in the unit, but in their own tent separate from the girls.
Bring Your Own Pop-Up Tents: Troops may also elect to bring their own pop-up tents to camp. Troops that use this option will still be assigned a platform tent unit, but will put up their own tents in the unit when they arrive. Please mark platform tent on your registration and write in that you’ll be bringing your own tents. Troops will have access to the kitchen shelter and fire ring of the unit they’re assigned to.
Meals are served family style in the dining hall. Troops have the option to request cooking out over the fire.
All TAC participants (both girls and adults) must provide a current health history (within six months of dates of attendance). A physical exam is not required to be completed by a doctor.
At least one adult volunteer from every troop must hold current certification in First Aid/CPR from a nationally recognized provider of training. The troop leader serves as the primary healthcare provider to the troop.
The Health Center is in Ittmann Lodge (West). The Health Center contains basic medical equipment and a bed in an air-conditioned room. The assistant camp director oversees the Health Center. The Health Center is not staffed continuously, so if you encounter a medical condition that you cannot handle, please go to the camp office.
Medication and Treatment Policy: All adult and camper medications will be held and dispensed by the leader of each troop. During check-in, you will receive a lock-box with a combination padlock (you will also receive the combination). You must keep all medications locked in the box at all times, with the exception of inhalers and Epi-Pens (participants may keep them, to use in case of emergency). There will be an orientation to the medication procedures during the leader meeting on the first night at camp.
The troop first aider will treat all minor injuries and illnesses. During check-in, you will receive a basic first aid kit, which you should keep in your unit. In the case of minor injuries or illnesses, you should treat the participant, and then you must record the treatment in the Health Log. If you encounter a medical condition that you cannot handle, you should immediately contact a leadership team member. If a condition cannot be treated on site, the troop leader and/or camp director will contact the parents to arrange treatment and transportation for the camper.
Troop leaders accompanying the troop are responsible for maintaining Safety Activity Checkpoint ratios and adequately supervising the girls. The camp staff provides camp expertise and leadership for the program activities while Junior Instructors/CITs are on hand to assist the staff and troop leaders with activities. Troop leaders must provide supervision of girls in the below ratios.
Two adults for every:
- 12 girls entering second and third grade, and an additional adult for the next 1-6 girls (ratio is 1:6, but we always need at least 2 adults).
- 16 girls entering fourth and fifth grade, and an additional adult for the next 1-8 girls (ratio is 1:8, but we always need at least 2 adults).
- 20 girls entering sixth grade and above, and an additional adult for the next 1-10 girls (ratio is 1:10, but we always need at least 2 adults).
There must be a minimum of two adults at least 19 years in age or older in attendance with every troop at TAC at all times. These required adults attend camp without paying a fee. Any adult attending who is not required to fulfill Safety Activity Checkpoint ratios must pay the full cost. The priority is to accommodate as many girls as possible. Please limit adults to the required ratios. Arrangements can be made for girls with special needs. Adults may not bring “tag-a-longs” (adults and leader’s younger children). Attendees must be registered Girl Scouts attending camp with their troop or group.
Rotating Adults
There must be a minimum of two adults at least 18 years in age or older (not eligible to be an Ambassador Girl Scout) in attendance with every troop at TAC at all times. These required adults attend camp without paying a fee. Any adult attending who is not required to fulfill Safety Activity Checkpoint ratios must pay the full cost. The priority is to accommodate as many girls as possible. Please limit adults to the required ratios. Arrangements can be made for girls with special needs. Adults may not bring “tag-a-longs” (adults and leader’s younger children). Adults must be registered and approved Girl Scouts volunteers attending camp with their troop or group.
Build your leadership skills at Troop Adventure Camp (TAC) by interning as a Junior Instructor (JI). Junior Instructors run many of the programs at TAC such as hikes, creeking, sling shots, tie dye, water games, messy science and much more! JI’s also fill the important role of being one of the campers favorite parts about camp. You’ll learn valuable leadership skills and serve as a role model to youngers campers.
Junior Instructors that are at least 16 by May 31, have the opportunity to attend American Red Cross Lifeguard training at Camp Whip Poor Will May 28-29 free of charge. JI lifeguards will spend time at the pool guarding under the supervision of the Waterfront Manager and other lifeguards.
