School Year Ends, Summer Camp Begins

Day Camp for Girls K-12 Offers Traditional Activities And Outdoor Living Instruction

This summer, all girls grades K-12 can take a free bus service from Monroe to Camp An-Se-Ox in Oxford, CT. There, girls will learn outdoor living skills while also experiencing all of the fun, traditional activities that summer camp has to offer.

Camp An-Se-Ox is welcoming its new camp director, Shannon Longo. Shannon, who loves high adventure activities, traveling, and reading on the beach, cannot wait to make memories with her campers!

With a mix of field and woodland areas, Camp An-Se-Ox is able to provide girls with adventures that are mega fun! One program, “Mega Adventures,” focuses on teaching girls outdoor living skills. Girls will learn about hiking, trip preparation, and learn how to build emergency shelters, fire building techniques, outdoor cooking, signaling, and orienteering. Each two-week session contains an overnight experience. This program is for girls entering grades four through six.

Operated by Girl Scouts of Connecticut, Camp An-Se-Ox is proud to be licensed by the State of Connecticut and accredited by the American Camping Association which shows a commitment to offering high quality programs, meeting safety standards, and following the best business practices.

Summer camp helps boost girls’ self-esteem and confidence, thus improving their social skills and establishing a greater sense of independence. During their summer at Camp An-Se-Ox, girls can develop leadership qualities; learn outdoor skills, swim, and more! Younger girls begin by leading songs and playing games. Girls in grades nine through twelve can participate in a number of leadership programs.

At Camp An-Se-Ox, each member of the summer camp staff has been carefully screened and chosen for their skills and experience. All staff receives more than 30 hours of training in child development, teambuilding, safety, and risk management.

All girls in grades K-12 are welcome at Camp An-Se-Ox, which offers bus services from many local towns. To learn more about Camp An-Se-Ox, visit www.gsofct.org.
