Part of the summer fun � as seen through the eyes of a kid � is getting out of the daily routine by attending some sort of camp. For those kids who have a particular talent or interest � or are looking for a traditional summer camp experience � a number of terrific day camps are available locally, but early sign-up is a must. Henderson County Girl Scouts is hosting their annual Summer Day Camp at the Historic Johnson Farm. Camp will be held Monday, June 7, through Friday, June 11, 2004, at the Farm, located on Highway 191. The Henderson County Girl Scout Service Unit is sponsoring the camp. The five-day event will have themes focusing on Girl Scouting Around the World, and each day will include information and sessions centered on the four world centers for girl scouting and the Edith Macy Center in New York. A majority of the activities will focus on international travel and destinations, cultures, friendships, and girl scouting around the world. Summer Day Camp is open to all registered Henderson County Girl Scouts, Daisy through Junior age level. Cadette, Senior, and Adult Scouts are invited to participate as camp counselors and assistants during the event. For more information, please contact Lee Henderson-Hill, Summer Day Camp Coordinator, at 828-890-1209 (leave message).
