about our camps
This summer, Girl Scouts of North-Central Alabama (GSNCA)
will offer summer camp sessions at four of its six camp locations: Camp Cottaquilla near Anniston/Jacksonville, Camp Coleman in Trussville, Kanawahala Program Center (KPC) in Chelsea, and Camp Trico in Guntersville. Each camp offers unique
features, activities and traditions, while standardized operating
procedures enable camps to consistently meet and exceed the
expectations of parents and campers.
ACA-Accredited Camps Set the Standard
GSNCA camps and the American Camp
Association (ACA) form a partnership
that promotes summers of growth
and fun in an environment committed to safety. All GSNCA camps operate in compliance with ACA standards.
Two of GSNCA’s camps (Camp Cottaquilla and KPC) are currently ACA Accredited. ACA accreditation requires a peer review
process that evaluates complete camp operation. For more
information about the value of camp and the ACA accreditation
process, visit acacamps.org/accreditation/benefit.php.
Health & Safety
The health and safety of campers is always GSNCA’s primary
concern. Camps are inspected by county boards of health and
operate in compliance with their standards, along with those
outlined by the ACA, the Alabama Department of Health, and
Girl Scouts of the USA Safety Activity Checkpoints. Programs
and activities are supervised by qualified staff and conducted
according to professional standards set forth for the program.
The camp health manager is on duty to provide first aid when
needed, supervise routine healthcare and manage campers’
medications. The health manager is a registered nurse or is
currently certified in American Red Cross First Aid and CPR.
Camp health managers have access by telephone to a network
of health-care resources including the camp’s physician on-call.
Arrangements are made with area hospitals and local emergency response personnel for complete emergency services.
Security
Additional procedures designed to enhance campsite security
will be implemented this summer at all GSNCA campsites.
Camp counselors at all locations will be trained in standardized
supervision procedures. All staff will be equipped to practice
diligent care and attentive supervision of campers. A system of
2
Summer Camp 2015
regular head counts, scheduled unit check-in reports, and, at
night, a system of routine monitoring and bed checks will be
implemented. Access to campsites by unscheduled visitors will
be limited to daylight hours only. All visitors will be required to
check-in, provide a valid photo ID, receive a visitor permit, and
remain in the company of a staff person at all times.
About the Camp Staff
GSNCA’s year round staff is responsible for recruiting, hiring,
training and supervising seasonal camp staff. Seasonal camp
staff includes unit leaders and counselors, lifeguards, cooks and
kitchen staff. Specially trained and certified instructors supervise and lead specialized program activities. At GSNCA camps,
all staff is carefully selected through a meticulous screening
process which includes application, voluntary disclosure statement, interview, references and background check. Prior to the
camp season, staff participates in training designed to prepare
them for working with campers.
Camp Activities
Boating and Swimming on Natural Bodies of Water
For all swimming activities, a currently certified lifeguard will
be on duty. All boating activities (canoeing, kayaking, pedal
boating), will be supervised by a staff person or volunteer who
holds current American Red Cross lifeguard certification. At
least one activity leader must have experience specific to the
type of craft used and the site-specific conditions. For all powerboat activities, the vessel will be operated by an experienced
boat driver with a current Alabama Boat Operator’s license and
a currently certified lifeguard will be on board.
All campers at GSNCA camps, regardless of swimming ability,
are required to wear a properly fitted USCG-approved personal
flotation device (PFD) for all swimming and boating activities
that take place in or on natural bodies of water (lakes, rivers,
etc.). Inability to perform advanced swimming skills will not
necessarily preclude participation.
Camper Grade Levels
Lodging assignments will be made based on campers’ age. As
much as possible, grade level will be the determining factor
when cabin assignments are made. Some programs are available to two different grade levels of campers. In this case, the
program activities will be determined by the grade the camper
will enter in the fall.
Trading Post
The trading post (camp store) offers drinks, snacks, souvenirs,
and T-shirts for sale. Campers visit the trading post at least once
per day to purchase items. Parents should deposit a minimum
of $15 per camper, per week. Campers will be able to use their
accounts throughout the week. Please do not leave cash or
credit cards with campers! Remaining trading post balance can
be carried over to future camp sessions at the same camp by
requesting a carry-over form at check-out. NOTE: If not carried over, a refund of remaining trading post balance must be
requested at check-out. If remaining balance is not carried over
or requested at check out, it is non-refundable.
Campers with Special Needs
Please call the camp office before registering so we can discuss
how to best meet your child’s special needs. Girl Scouts of NorthCentral Alabama is committed to including campers with special
needs. In order to provide the best care for your child, it is imperative that camp staff members be aware of any condition that may
impact the camper’s experience. Unfortunately the camps are
unable to provide individual staff for those requiring one-on-one
assistance. For campers who need individual assistance, families
should provide a qualified adult aid.
Camp Rules
ff No one may bring firearms, explosives, incendiary devices,
illegal drugs or pets onto camp property. (Service animals
are welcome.)
ff No one may ride in the back of a pick-up truck on camp
property.
ff Campers may not bring alcohol or cigarettes.
NEW THIS YEAR: Tech Time
Campers may bring their technology devices! Cell phones,
laptops, tablets, video players, iPod,s games, etc. At check-in,
devices will be collected, labeled with campers’ names, and
stored under lock and key. During allotted times, campers will
be able to check out their device for use. Limited WiFi access
will be available at some locations. Devices will be returned to
parents at check-out.
Resident Camp Programs
Traditional sleep-away/resident camp programs are available at
Camp Cottaquilla near Anniston/Jacksonville, Camp Coleman
in Trussville, Kanawahala Program Center in Chelsea, and Camp
Trico in Guntersville.
Resident camp is for girls only and provides a unique experience that allows girls to meet new friends, master new skills,
and become more independent. Camp activities are designed
to provide intentional opportunities to encounter new challenges, experience success, develop leadership, improve selfesteem, and build life skills. Spending a week at camp can build
character and help girls develop qualities that will serve them
all their lives—strong values, social conscience and conviction
about their own potential and self-worth.
Mini Camps
Mini Camps are available at
Kanawahala Program Center and
Camp Trico. Evening check-in is
between 5 and 6 p.m; dinner is
provided. Check-out time will be
from 4-6 p.m. on the designated
day. At check-out be sure to check
for ALL of your child’s belongings,
secure medication, and pick up
your child’s remaining trading
post money.
Check In/Check Out
Most campers attending resident
camp sessions will check in on
Sunday afternoon between 5 and
6 p.m. Dinner will be provided.

Programs for Teens
New! C3
C3 is a council-wide Outdoor Program initiative for teens,
designed to provide intentional opportunities for leadership
development. The name C3 was selected from the Girl Scout
mission - courage, confidence, and character. The program
content includes many of the same activities included in
nationally recognized leadership development programs for
teens. Additionally, you will shadow experienced camp leaders; provide supervision and leadership for a group of younger
campers; and learn how to engage and inspire those around
you. Participation looks great when listed on your scholarship,
college, or job application.
Counselor In Training Programs
GSNCA camps offer Counselor-in-Training (CIT I & II) programs
for older girls. These two-week residential programs are available at all four resident camp locations and are designed to
help prepare teens for camp staff positions. Participants attend
both weeks but leave camp on the weekend and return the following Sunday night.
Accommodations at Cottaquilla,
Coleman, and Trico
For resident camp sessions at Camp Cottaquilla, Camp Coleman, and Camp Trico, campers are housed in bunkhouses or
cabin clusters. Younger campers and those enrolled in certain specialty programs at Camp Coleman, Camp Cottaquilla
and Camp Trico
may be housed
in bunkhouses.
Bunkhouses are
larger cabins with
bunks for up to 25
people housed all

each have two air-conditioned bunkhouses which are usually
used for the very youngest camper groups.

Applications
Most campers at Cottaquilla, Coleman and Trico are housed
in clusters of open screen cabins (referred to as units.) Units
typically have three to seven rustic cabins. The smaller cabins
sleep four to six campers and the largest cabins sleep 10 each.
Parents and campers should expect cabins to be rustic. They
are not air-conditioned, but do have electricity and outlets for a
fan. Campers are seldom in the cabins during the day. At night
with a fan, the cabins are actually very comfortable and camp4
Summer Camp 2015
ers may even need a light blanket.
Most cabins are constructed of wood siding with large areas of
open screening. All of the cabin clusters are arranged in close
proximity allowing camp staff to easily monitor all the cabins
in the cluster. Bathroom and shower facilities are located in a
building nearby. Each cabin unit has a covered picnic pavilion
that is used for unit activities and provides a place for campers
to gather.
Accommodations at Kanawahala
Program Center
At Kanawahala Program Center (KPC), most resident campers
are housed in one of two dorm-style facilities. With 10 rooms
each, the two bunkhouses provide air-conditioned sleeping
space for campers and staff. Each room has two sets of bunkbeds and either two single beds or a small sitting area. Four to
six campers stay in each room and the counselors stay in another room. Rooms are fully enclosed, air-conditioned and connected by a breezeway. The breezeway connects to the troop
house, which includes bathrooms with showers, a large indoor
meeting space, a small kitchen and a covered porch with picnic
tables for unit activities.
What About Rest Hour?
GSNCA camps do not schedule a specific rest hour for campers
and staff. Instead, a full program day is scheduled, but there
are usually breaks during the day. For example, while campers
are waiting for their turn to shower, they can visit with other
campers, write letters or read a book. In the event a scheduled
activity is canceled because of weather, campers may enjoy a
brief downtime to socialize with others or may be scheduled for
alternate activities. Some activities may be rescheduled when
the weather improves, but it may not be possible to reschedule
all activities. This will depend on the overall schedule and the
availability of the activity at other times.
Day Camp Programs
Day camp is open to girls and boys, and is a smart option for
families looking for an alternative to traditional daycare. Day
camp is available at all four locations. While attending day
camp, girls and boys are able to enjoy the camp experience
while spending the night at home. Specialty horse day camp
sessions are available at Camp Coleman and include daily
equestrian activities and riding instruction.
Day Camp Arrival and Departure
The first scheduled activity starts at 9 a.m. each day, and the
last scheduled activity concludes at 4 p.m. Drop-off times are
between 7:30 and 9 a.m. Check-out time for day campers at
all locations is 4–6 p.m. At check-out, be sure to check for ALL
of your child’s belongings and medications. At the end of the
week, pick up your child’s remaining trading post money or fill
out a form to have it carried to the following week. Lunch is
available for an $25 additional fee during resident camp only.
To take advantage of this option, be sure to check the box
when you register and pay the additional fee.
Camp Cottaquilla
C
amp Cottaquilla is located in the foothills of the Appalachian
Mountains in Calhoun County near the highest point in
Alabama. Since 1948, campers have enjoyed everything
that Camp Cottaquilla offers: sprawling hardwood forests, soaring
mountains, hiking trails and 1,800 acres to explore. A tranquil lake
near the middle of camp provides an ideal location for canoeing,
pedal boating, kayaking and fishing. The swimming pool and huge
screened porch on the dining hall offer a welcome reprieve from
the summer’s heat. The camp also features an archery range,
riflery range, low ropes course, nature nook and campfire circle.
Camp Cottaquilla is currently accredited by the American Camp
Association (ACA).

Waiting Lists

During online registration, if space is not available in the selected session, you will automatically be placed on the waiting list

short and campers are almost always placed from the waiting
list. You will be notified by email when space becomes available. At that time your registration deposit will be processed.
Deposits
The required $100 deposit for resident camp programs and/or
$20 per person deposit for family/troop/day camp programs
must be paid at the time of registration to secure a place in the
selected session. The deposit goes toward the total camp fee.
For example, if the listed camp fee is $400, you pay the $100
resident camp deposit at registration. The balance owed is
$300. The deposit is refundable only if the selected session is
full or is canceled due to lack of registrations.
Cancellation & Refund Policy
Please notify Tonya Sails, camp registrar, immediately if a
camper will not be able to attend a session for which they are
registered ([email protected] or 205-453-9526 or 800734-4541 x1028).
The registration deposit is non-refundable and may not be
transferred to another camper. The balance of fees paid above
the registration deposit will be refunded under the following
conditions:
ff The cancellation is made at least three weeks prior to the
selected session and the refund is requested in ­writing and
