Last week June 23-27 Girl Scout Service Unit 886 of Geneseo/Atkinson held their 14th annual Day Camp at Cole Cabin in Geneseo. The week consisted of 92 Girl Scouts (age ranging from 1st-12th grades) and 35 Volunteers that are college age Girl Scouts, current GS leaders, and volunteers. The theme was Creatures of the SEA (Science, Education, and Adventure). Girls of all ages participated in cooking their own lunch using campfire or camp stoves, hiking, fishing at Izzak Walton, crafts, songs, games, learning new skills and swimming.
Depending on their age, in addition to all the other items listed, girls were also able to go kayaking on the Hennepin Canal, archery, biking, horseback riding, and camping overnight. It was a full week packed full of fun and activity, even in the extreme heat! Girls and volunteers will tell you "It's the best week of the summer and they look forward to camp every year."
We couldn't hold this camp without all of our volunteers and community support. We would like to thank Geneseo Community Chest, Cole Cabin Trustees, Izzak Walton League, Geneseo Kiwanis Club, Smith Art Studio, B&B, Tim Eastman, It's a Pleasure Horses, Indian Creek Mini Golf, Pinks and Geneseo Park District.
