Girl Scout Camp experience over April break
Andover girls interested in a scouting experience during April school vacation will be able to get on a bus in Andover that will takes them to a special day camp.
This spring break, Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts will offer four days of activities at Camp Cedar Hill in Waltham. Camp begins Tuesday, April 20 and ends Friday, April 23, and will operate from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $40 per day per Girl Scout, and for non-Girl Scouts there is a one-time $12 registration fee. Girls can attend one or more days. The camp is for girls in grades 1-6.
There are bus stops throughout Massachusetts including one in Andover. The daily offerings are listed below.
Programs
Back to Basics, April 20: Meant to "jam an entire summer's fun into one day." Tie dye, cook over a campfire, explore the woods and experience what camp has to offer.
Chillin' Out, April 21: Meant to provide "a break from school" where girls can try yoga moves, make ice cream and explore "this summer's hottest camp fashions designed by you."
Grossology, April 22: Do you love things that make everyone else cringe? This day is beyond messy-and you can get creative in a gooey way! Play with slime; make a gooey snack and more as you squish, squash and mix-up a day of hands on fun!
Be a Sport, April 23: Play basketball and "work as a team to conquer the challenge course."

Dalton column: Readers recall the great storms of '54
"During the hurricane several huge pines fell across Abbot Street near where I lived as a girl. Fortunately, they fell on open space and no houses were damaged," wrote Margaret Blake in response to my column about the two summer storms of 1954. The first and more violent of the two storms was Hurricane Carol, which was the storm Margaret mentioned. It had top winds of 125 mph and was followed by the flooding rains of Hurricane Edna two weeks later.
