Camping suggestion

In looking into the Girl Scout camps. I thought as our first camping trip we could do a Troop House Camping weekend.
If this is a possiblilty please let me know as soon as possible. I need to make the reservation asap.

Date January 7--9th

Camp Timber Ridge

Mableton, Ga.

Camp Timber Ridge 1/7/2011 1/9/2011 Troop House/$200 Available an alternative date
Camp Timber Ridge 1/28/2011 1/30/2011 Troop House/$200 Available
Cost per girl  Depends on how many are going. If all 12 the price is 18 dollars for the camp.
Then cost of food (this will be the girls making the food list with adult supervision) and then the girls dividing up the list on who brings what)

We would need parents to drive to the camp with the girls.. Any parent (female) that would like to go may do so but must fill out a volunteer application and be approved first.

My opinion is that this would be an awesome first camping trip. They will be in a troop house, with facilities, fire ring out side and get them used to the camping conditions. Then next trip we can do the tents.
