As we progress into the next level of the Camp Fire program, Discovery Level, we start preparing for the higher levels of the program - the Horizon Club and Wohelo Award. The first step in this journey is the making of the collars that will eventually be sewn onto the gowns that are the Horizon Club and Wohelo ceremonial dress. The collar is the offical ceremonial uniform for Discovery level members. A Camp Fire collar specialist will help each girl plan and make her collar. This is accomplished in 2 workshops.
The first workshop (March 13th) will include planning and preparing a pattern for the collar. Each girl will leave the workshop having made a pattern and placed an order for the leather to make the collar. A second workshop will be scheduled at the tanner's shop. The tanner has been assisting Camp Fire girls for many years. Each girl will receive help to make their collar using leather they have pre-ordered. Parents are asked to accompany their daughters to BOTH workshops.
The leather to make the collar costs $45. A $20 deposit, payable at the first workshop, is necessary to pre-order the leather. The balance of the cost ($25) will be due at the second workshop. The collars will be presented to the girls by their parent at the Grand Council Fire in early May.
This is an exciting time as we transition and get ready for the Discovery (middle school) years of Camp Fire. Remember, as a member of Shi Wa Yu Ma, even if the girls go to different middle schools, they may continue in Camp Fire.
