Join a space where girls are celebrated for being uniquely themselves. Come down and hang out at camp as girls and their families enjoy a special fall festival where they can make crafts, try archery, play games, and build mini pumpkin catapults! The event take place at the Camp Seawood, 350 Banfield Road, Portsmouth, on Sunday, Nov. 1, from noon to 4 p.m.

Participants will learn about the benefits of joining Girl Scouts, build a catapult, make a bird seedball feeder, try archery, play glowstick ring toss, sing songs around a campfire, and toast marshmallows for s’mores. There will be a team catapult challenge with awards in several categories. Light snacks including apple cider, doughnuts, and hot chocolate will be provided.
