Study on Rural Camp Use by Seven Lakes Scouts
Seven Lakes Girl Scout Council completed a study on camp settings for rural and suburban youth. Funded by Mass Audubon Society and seven Upstate NY councils, the project interviewed campers aged 8 to 15 at 15 area camps. Susan Chase led on site interviews, noting a shift toward specialized activities and Bicentennial programs while highlighting social gains from camp life. Patterns of inter council cooperation may emerge to reduce program duplication. Holly Covert was among campers at Egypt and Comstock camps.
