Resident Camp Jessie Bloom is held at Twin Bears Camp, 30 miles from Fairbanks.  The camp facilities are on a lovely, small lake in a spruce, aspen and birch forest.  Girls swim and canoe on the lake, hike on the trails and observe the wildlife, including ducks, beavers, owls, red squirrels and moose.

 Housing

Campers are divided into units according to their age and interests. 
The girls sleep in small cabins on bunks with mattresses. 
The cabins are centrally located with staff nearby.

 Meals

The campers eat in the dining hall or in a special activity area for cookouts and campfires. 
The meals are planned with the girls’ preferences and health in mind. 
If your daughter is on a special diet please specify on the health form.

 Transportation

Transportation to and from camp is the responsibility of the parents. 
Directions will be provided once registration is completed. 
Girls from rural areas can contact the Girl Scout office to arrange transportation if needed.

 Camp Staff

Adults from various age groups are chosen for their character, commitment to youth,
love of the outdoors and special skills make up our camp staff.  All receive training prior
to the start of camp in the areas of first aid, safety, camper sensitivity, program planning with girls,
teamwork and much more. 
The ratio of staff to campers in a cabin is one counselor for every seven campers.

 Safety

Camp Jessie Bloom uses the “buddy” system 24 hours a day.  Farthest North Girl Scout Council
follows the guidelines established by Girl Scouts of the USA for safety of the site, in the  programming,
and with the campers.   To insure a safe and fun camp experience, please let the council know of any
special needs or unusual circumstances such as a recent loss of a family member, medication that
