Serendipity is back! Experience the magic with your Family, Troop, or parent-daughter pair. We are so excited to welcome this amazing event back, with new and exciting activities offered this year. We are going to be offering sustainable crafts: sewing your own reusable bowl covers, making wax paper, creating your own paper, dip candles, and more! We will also be learning about the natural flora and fauna of Georgia through guided hikes and interactive activities. This will be a more relaxed day, where you can choose what activities you would like to do. We can’t wait to have you join us for a day of discovery and fun!
Whether you decide to take it easy or take advantage of all the provided activities, it will be a meaningful time for you and your special Girl Scout! There will be a variety of self-guided activities as well as Camp Staff lead activities (examples: archery, arts and crafts, hikes, outdoor cooking and more!)
