Why is Girl Scouts of Nassau County selling Camp Tekakwitha?

0

It is a matter of stewardship. The vast majority of GSNC’s financial assets are in the properties that are held at Camp Blue Bay and Camp Tekakwitha. However, these valuable assets are utilized by less than 10% of our membership, and neither property brings in enough revenue to cover the direct expenses that the Council incurs each year to maintain, insure and run programs at these sites; hence, both of these valuable properties represent a drain on our liquid assets and annual revenue. By selling the property at Camp Tek, the Council will earn interest on the investment of the proceeds of the sale. This interest income will allow the Council to significantly expand its services to girls and adult volunteers in Nassau County, and will also allow for resources to be directed to much needed capital improvements and program expansion at Camp Blue Bay.
