The Amahami Troop Core Guide was emailed out to leaders that did their troop’s registration for Troop Core. Leaders should share the email with all troop members attending Troop Core. You can also view it here.

Troop Core is a weekend filled with classic camp activities. Activities may include swimming, boating, shooting sports, hiking, crafts, a campfire, and more! All activities are facilitated by our trained camp staff. Some activities are age restricted.

No, camp registration is based on the grade that your girls are entering for the 2023-24 school year. Girl Scout levels are as follows:

Daisy: Grades K-1

Brownie: Grades 2-3

Junior: Grades 4-5

Cadette: Grades 6-8

Senior: Grades 9-10

Ambassador: Grades 11-12

Sleeping accommodations include platform tents, cabins, and lodges. Troops may be sharing their sleeping quarters with other troops.

We have our own private body of water named Page pond, but better known to our campers as Lake Waletka! Since we have it all to ourselves it is perfect for swimming and boating for beginners and experts. The swimming area is divided into multiple sections. Campers will undergo a swimming assessment to determine their swimming ability, which will determine which sections they can go in. Watershoes are not required, but some campers prefer to wear them. We have canoes, rowboats, kayaks, and corcls for campers to use.

We will have a maximum of 100 campers at Troop Core.

Your troop must have at least 2 adults attend the program and be within girl to adult ratio. Camp staff will be facilitating activities for your troop but will not be providing supervision.

None! Our summer camp staff will be providing all activity facilitation and covering any first-aid needs. So your troop leaders do not need to have completed Simply Successful Camping (SSC) to attend.

Adults are welcome to participate in all activities alongside their troop members! If there are any activities you don’t want to join in on, that is okay too.

All meals are provided during your stay. We offer kid-friendly foods. Think spaghetti, pancakes, hamburgers, and more. If you have special dietary concerns, please be sure to note them during registration. We accommodate for all diets.

Yes, showers are available for your use.

During registration you will indicate if any of your campers have any dietary restrictions, allergies, or other concerns. Troop leaders must have health history forms on hand for all girls and adults in attendance.

Important items to bring: sleeping bag or twin size bedding, pillow, sneakers, bathing suit, towel, toiletries, flashlight, water bottle, clothing appropriate for the weather, and warm pajamas for sleeping.
