Why is GSCB divesting of property and why now?	This was a difficult decision to make, and we did not do so lightly. But we felt responsible to consolidate our properties into ones that would be outstanding and help GSCB be successful in the years to come. Today, it is expensive to maintain what we have. Also, it would require more resources than available to bring every camp up to the level of experience required to attract the number of girls needed to be financially sustainable in the long term.
Which GSCB properties are affected?	We have evaluated our current properties and made a plan about what to sell, exit, keep, move, and invest in. Going forward, we plan to sell: Grove Point Sandy Pines Newark Resource Center Peninsula Resource Center We will move the Grove Point program to Camp Todd, which we will develop as a premier destination for resident camp for all girls in Delaware and the Eastern Shores of Maryland and Virginia. We will use a portion of the proceeds from the sales to fund improvements at: Camp Country Center Camp Todd We will have feedback opportunities to hear from our girls membership on the enhancements they would like to see at our upgraded camps as we finalize the master plans.
How can I be a part of determining what new upgrades will happen at Camp Country Center and Camp Todd?	As we move forward with the strategic plans for each property, we will create input sessions for members, particularly girls, to share their ideas for what improvements and attractions will be most appealing at our camp properties.
When will I no longer be able to make a reservation at Grove Point or Sandy Pines or any of the other effected locations?	We will continue to honor existing site reservations. Future reservation opportunities for both camp properties will remain open until further notice.
When will the improvements at the camps begin and how soon? What specifically will the improvements be?	In the coming months, GSCB will begin the process for creating a strategic plan for each property. This process will include feedback from our girls and our members will help shape the future of other improvements and we look forward to hearing your ideas in those focus groups. We do know that part of the improvements will include; Additional year-round overnight units. Investment in high-adventure opportunities. Investment in the STEM Lab
Will GSCB run summer camp at Grove Point in the summer of 2023?	No, GSCB will not run Summer Camp at Grove Point in the summer of 2023.
Will GSCB have a closing ceremony for each camp that is sold and how will I find out about it?	Yes, we know it is important to say goodbye. As closing ceremonies are scheduled events will be posted in Double Knot and shared in e-newsletters.
What will happen to the donated bricks at the NRC?	GSCB’s goal is to incorporate the donated bricks into projects at the remaining properties. However, in the coming months we will communicate with all brick donors directly to understand their preference and work to honor it.
What will happen to the benches, tables, etc. at the properties that are being sold?	In the coming months, GSCB will begin the process of inventorying all items at each property. Using this, GSCB will determine what items will be reallocated to the remaining properties and what items will be available for purchase.
