YOUR SCORE
14-24: Your girl (and you) may not be entirely ready
for Overnight Camp. Day Camp and Troop or Family
Campouts are great ways to prepare girls (and parents/
caregivers) for Overnight Camp next summer.
At Day Camp, girls enjoy tons of daytime camp fun and
come home at night.
Are you confident in your girl's ability to:
Troop and Family Campouts invite troop, friends, or
the whole family to spend the weekend at camp. Attend
one of our Summer Outdoor Series programs at Camp
Hoffman to get a feel for what camping is like.
25-34: It sounds like you are ready to send your girl
to camp for Mini Session! If you’re still not sure, get
adjusted to the camp life with a Family or Troop
Campout.
35-42: You've done this before, haven't you? You are
confident in your girl's abilities and willing to help prepare
her for camp. You and your girl are ready for a week-long
Day Camp or Overnight Camp session!
