Long Hill Girl Scouts Camp at Riverbend
The Long Hill Twp Girl Scout Service Unit annual campout at Riverbend occurred Saturday, May 6-Sunday, May 7. Over 80 Girl Scouts along with their parents enjoyed the grounds of Camp Riverbend in Warren. Morning arrivals began with the campers and their parents checking in and obtaining the camping t-shirts that were designed by ninth grade Senior Scouts, Julia Stine and Emily Wood. Tents were pitched in the open grass areas and the scouts got to explore the Riverbend property. In the afternoon, all the scouts were divided into rotating stations consisting of arts and crafts, fire building, compass games, Girl Scout songs and canoeing. The camping committee leaders along with some of the Senior level Girl Scouts lead and organized the stations. The evening gathering consisted of cooking dinner around the campfire followed by smores and songs. In the morning scouts enjoyed a bagel breakfast provided by the camping committee followed by a scavenger hunt activity. The weekend weather was ideal with warm sunshine during the day and cool sleeping weather overnight.
The Long Hill Girl Scouts would like to thank Lombardo Farms for the firewood donation and Camp Riverbend for use of the beautiful grounds for the weekend. The Long Hill Girl Scout Service unit donated to Camp Riverbend’s Hannah Breene Foundation as a thank them for allowing the scouts to have an enjoyable camping weekend so close to home.
