Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ is partnering with the Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin Lakes and Pines to offer a college sampler for girls in grades 4-12, July 30-Aug. 1.<\/p>\n
The three-day event will feature college preparation presentations, hands-on challenge events and social events. Participants will hear from experts in financial aid, scholarship applications and goal setting. Girls will tour the Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ campus and learn things they can do right away to help them get into the college of their dreams.<\/p>\n
Campers also will participate in cultural exchanges with international students, spend time at a robotics workshop and assist with a service learning project. There also will be a campfire with s’mores, a movie night, art projects and scavenger hunts and opportunities to meet college students.<\/p>\n
The sampler carries a fee of $85 for Girl Scouts members. Girls who are not members of the scouts are welcome to attend; the non-member fee is $97, which includes a $12 annual registration fee for the Girl Scouts. Scouts may pay for up to $40 of their registration fee with Cookie Dough, earned as a reward for participation in the organization’s cookie sales program. Adults can register for $50.<\/p>\n
There is a “bring a friend” discount available; a member of the Girl Scouts who brings a friend to the sampler will earn a $10 discount for both girls.<\/p>\n
The course fee includes overnight residence hall accommodations in Bemidji State’s Tamarack Hall, all meals, program supplies, a patch and a custom t-shirt.<\/p>\n
Adult supervision will be provided for girls who attend without an adult.<\/p>\n
All girls interested in the program are eligible for scholarships; contact the Bemidji Girl Scouts for additional information.<\/p>\n
Advance registration is required by July 14 and requires a $10 deposit; the deposit counts toward the sampler’s registration fee.<\/p>\n
The college sampler is sponsored by the Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin Lake and Pines and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ.<\/p>\n
