Frequently Asked Questions about Pixies & Boys Units
This sounds like a great camp! How to I enroll my son? That's
easy! Become a full-time adult staff volunteer and your son can
accompany you to camp each day!
What do I do with my "non-Girl Scout" children if I become a staff
member? Camp Crossroads offers a Pixie unit for potty-trained pre-schoolers and a Boys Unit for
boys. These units
are open only to the children of our full-time adult staff volunteers.
What is the Boy’s Unit? The boys of our full-time adult staff
volunteers participate in many of same activities as the girls but tailored to
their interests. For instance, we select special craft projects
for the boys. The personality of the unit changes slightly each year and that
is dependent on the ages of the boys who attend. Our youngest boys are 7-8 (if
boys are under 7, they do better in our co-ed Pixie Unit). Our oldest boys
have been as old as 12. Boys may attend Camp Crossroads until they have
completed 7th grade. We do know that the boys tend to beg their moms to
return as volunteers to camp next year -- so we know they have fun coming to
our Girl Scout Camp!
What is the Pixie Unit? We have a co-ed Pixie Unit for the
pre-schoolers through 1st grade. Pixies must be potty-trained and
willing to spend the day in the Pixie Unit. The Pixies do many of the
same activities tailored to their interests and attention spans.
Is there a fee for the boys or pixies? There is a slight
fee (around $10.00) to help defray some of the expenses of these units.
