We are having our Fall Neighborhood Encampment at Shadow Rim Ranch, our Girl Scout camp located near Payson, about 1.5-2 hours from Scottsdale. It's a beautiful camp. You'll love it!
Covid Changes: We’ll be following current council covid guidelines. Prescreening and masks are required. More detailed and up-to-date information will be provided closer to the event.
Programs: Our Camp will have a plethora of activities for girls to enjoy. Canoeing ($8), Archery ($6), and Climbing Wall ($6) for girls 4th and up, Zip line ($8) for girls 6th and up. For all ages, we’ll have water fights, create-your-own superhero logo and cape, and activities at the Heritage House. There’s a great creek for creek walking. The remaining time is open for your own troop's activities, so you can take a hike, work on a badge, prepare gourmet meals, or even give your girls some down time. Whatever you wish! We'll have a campfire Saturday night.
Meals: We will serve Saturday Breakfast, Saturday Dinner, and Sunday Breakfast. All troops will cook Friday Dinner and Saturday Lunch and any snacks they want. Feel free to buddy up with another troop! This is a great bridging or friendship building opportunity.
Accommodations: There are various cabins and buildings for us to stay in, each of which accommodate a different number of people. Some buildings have beds, some have only mattresses. Sites will be assigned a few days beforehand.
Swaps: We will have a swap exchange. Please prepare your swaps around the camp theme or a wilderness/camping/outdoors theme. We suggest that each girl bring at least ten swaps.
Required Training: All troops must have a troop First Aider with current First aid and CPR cards and a TCC person (BOTH Troop Camp Certification Levels 1 and 2). (Leaders attending with just their daughters are exempt. If you’re having trouble getting a TCC person, let us know.) TCC Training Info
