Lakamaga Adult Education Conference
August 15 – 17, 2008 at Camp Lakamaga
Celebrate the coming Girl Scout year with new friends and old now that five diverse legacies have joined together as one – River Valleys. You will find this conference valuable whether you are a seasoned volunteer or fresh off the vine! At this conference we offer a variety of classes and workshops, hundreds of friends to meet, and time to relax and rejuvenate for the coming Girl Scout year. Explore the great outdoors, learn new activities to take back to your troop or group, and experience things that will enrich your own life skills. We hope that all adult volunteers from all over River Valleys feel welcome in coming together as we rededicate ourselves to a stronger organization rich with tradition and friendship.
Come for the day. Stay for the weekend! Only with Girl Scouts could you enjoy so much for so little! Weekend fee of $50 includes three days of workshops, meals, overnight accommodations, and entertainment. Day fee of $30 covers workshops, meals and entertainment for one day. Please complete a separate form for each participant and provide all the information requested.

What’s New This Year
Transition Friday
The Adult Conference is starting while Resident Camp is coming to a close so we have the opportunity to do a few things differently this year. We will move into our sleeping accommodations after the resident campers depart. To facilitate the process you have the opportunity to rank your accommodation preferences on your registration form (see Accommodations section for details). We will also be joining the resident campers and staff for a joint lunch in the Annie Paper Dining Hall. While we enjoy our training and enrichment sessions in the afternoon, the resident campers will be picked up by their parents/guardians.
Pre-Order a Conference T-shirt
T-shirts featuring our conference logo can be pre-ordered this year to ensure your size is reserved. Complete that section on the registration form. We will have a limited supply of extra t-shirts available for a first come, first serve purchase at the conference.
Leadership Essentials Training
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be a part of one of the first Leadership Essentials trainings, which replaces our Basic Leadership and Age Level training. We will cover the Girl Scout Leadership Experience (GSLE) “engine” and all its components, the new Journeys books for adults & girls and using existing resources, and the value of adult and girl leadership practices. All volunteers are encouraged to participate on Saturday afternoon.
Entertainment
Friday Evening – The Ties that Bind!
Back by popular demand - the choice is still yours! Following dinner, we will begin our wide game with a variety of activity stations. Chose one or all—it’s up to you! We will conclude the evening with singing and snack in the Annie Paper Dining Hall.
Saturday Evening – Moving to the Beat!
Girl Scout "movement!" Come watch or feel free to kick up your heels after a full day of creative thinking and active listening. Join in the fun while we move to the Latin beat and get energized for a new year in Girl Scouting! Our guest entertainer has a unique way of getting us all involved in the fun whether we are on our feet or sitting back and being entertained. An evening not to miss!
