Deep Creek or Bust: A Memoir of Girl Scout Camp

by Deborah Meeks

Overview

The year is 1966. Seven teenage girls meet at the primitive Girl Scout camp of "Camp Mountain Meadows," on Greenhorn Mountain, in the Sequoia National Forest. The "Cardebanngiebarlys" patrol is created by using a syllable from each of their names, then the fun begins. The counselors teach survival skills required to go on the most rugged and adventurous hike offered at the camp—a backpack trip to Deep Creek, the coveted natural swimming hole with a rock slide. Of all the skills the girls learn, they discover through teamwork the most valuable survival tool of all—friendship. Piggy is struggling with shyness but overcomes it with the help of her friends by the end of the two-week camping experience. Getting dirty is part of the fun!
