Spring into fun at April Vacation Camp

Girls don’t have to wait until summer to have the time of their lives at Camp Cedar Hill. During April school vacation week, girls can engage in scientific discovery, challenge themselves on the high ropes course, enjoy exciting field trips, get artsy, outdoorsy or all of the above. Older girls can experience traditional camp activities combined with fun field trips and younger girls may attend camp for just one day or the whole week fun and friendship.

Girls in grades K - 10 are invited to experience creative programs each day. Programs are offered Tuesday, April 18 through Friday, April 21, 2017. This year at April Vacation Camp, Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts will present two unique programs in collaboration with Candlewick Press, starring characters of acclaimed books featuring strong, independent girls to nurture Girl Scouts’ confidence and love of reading.

On April 20, it’s Princess in Black day at Camp Cedar Hill. The New York Times best-selling book’s illustrator LeUyen Pham will be at camp to sign copies of the Princess in Black books and will demonstrate drawing techniques for the girls. Girls grades K- 5 will create jewelry, practice cooking and receive a copy of The Princess in Black in this fun session.

Science is everywhere – and so is science learning at Camp Cedar Hill. On Wednesday, April 19 girls in grades K – 5 will be making Oobleck and other ooey, gooey substances as they learn about the chemistry of slime! Older girls in grades 6 – 10 will unleash their inner scientist with a field trip to the Museum of Science on Thursday, April 20, learning about space, meteorology and more.

April Vacation Camp is also a great way for girls to experience what Camp Cedar Hill offers during the summer. Girls can try different activities and meet other girls who are planning to attend summer camp.
