Camp is a magical place! Join us for a week of fantasy and fun as we explore Camp Stonybrook with a magical twist.
Along the way, you’ll see some familiar faces, hear some of your favorite camp songs and join us in laughter and fun. It’s your summer, so camp like a Girl Scout!
The first sessions for each topic are recommended for Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors (grades K-5) and the second sessions are recommended for Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors (grades 6-12), but all are welcome for each session!
Outdoor Skill Building
Join us as we go through different tiers of outdoor living skills for all ages. Follow along while you watch the video and then give it a try!
Beginner's Knife Safety (Soap Carving)
Learn the basics of knife safety and make your own paper pocket knife. Then, join Duckie as she shows you how to carve a soap sculpture using a plastic knife!
Knife Skills (Whittling)
Take your pocket knife skills up a notch as Yakker teaches you how to whittle safely.
Crafts
Tune in for our art programming. These were live sessions with our camp staff where they showed you the arts of camp!
Fantastic Creatures & How to Sew Them
Nature
No adventure is complete without exploring the outdoors. Join us as we take you through the trails of our camps—with a twist! Each hike we’ll share some activities you can do on your own, wherever you are.
Minibeast Hike
There's lots of little creatures living all around us and it's time to get a close up. Go on your own minibeast hunt to see what you can find!
Cooking by the Campfire
Grab your ingredients and gather round the campfire (or kitchen) for a play by play of how to make some delicious campfire meals and sweet treats.
Breakfast Burritos & Monkey Bread
Looking for a great breakfast recipe you can make over the fire in no time? Look no further! These breakfast burritos are delicious and easy to make. Then, finish off your meal with a favorite dessert - monkey bread!
Lasagna & Baked Apples
What's better than the classic lasagna? Dutch oven lasagna, of course! Learn how to make this yummy campfire dinner, and follow it up with some baked apples on the fire.
STEM
Join our experts in the field of STEM! While most people are encouraged not to try things in their living rooms, you’ll be able to challenge yourself to some pretty awesome science and engineering projects.
Make a Catapult
Test your cardboard catapult. Do you see any trends? Learn about potential energy and kinetic energy. Can you make your projectiles go farther? How? Can you predict how far your projectile will go? Can you develop a game using your catapult?
Optional: other decorative items (feathers, beads etc...)

Test a Cardboard Catapult
A cardboard catapult (made last week)
A digital scale (to weigh your projectiles)
A tape measure… so you can measure how far your projectiles fly
A variety of balls to test your catapult… such as a cotton ball, ping pong ball, whiffle ball, golf ball, small bouncy ball… even small nuts or pine cones.
You can use silly putty to make and test different sized balls.
A sheet of paper to record the distances your projectiles go.
A piece of graph paper to plot your results.
OPTIONAL: a yoga mat and some baby powder… if you dip your projectile in baby powder and your range is such that you can get it to land on the yoga mat, it’ll leave a white mark where it lands, making it easier to get good measurements.

Cardboard… how much depends on how big you want to build your boat, and what you want it to be able to hold.
A measuring tape
A calculator (or access to a computer… sample spreadsheet provided)
Duct tape
A plastic tablecloth (or 2 or 3, depending on how large you go with your boat)
Something to cut your cardboard with
Someplace to test your boat… like a bathtub, pool, or lake.
OPTIONAL: some weight, to verify that your design works. Which means, you’ll also need to be able to weigh your boat with the extra weight. (You can always do this by standing on a scale holding your boat and the weight, then subtracting the weight of you alone.)
Join us as we take you on a tour of Camp Stonybrook! We will drive through first so you can get a lay of the camp, and then tour most buildings. This is perfect if you've never been to Stonybrook before, or you just miss seeing the familiar sights!
