Brownies and Juniors can experience independence and enjoy the benefits of overnight camp without staying the entire length of time with mini camps. Each overnight mini camp runs for three days starting on Sunday and ending on Wednesday. This is great for first-time campers who would like to experience camp on their own but might not be ready for a full week away from home. Each mini camper will leave with a badge, fun patch, and mini patches.
