Midway between east and southeast Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont (GSCP2P) is gearing up for summer, and registration for their 2023 summer camp programming is now open! With a variety of overnight camp, day camp and horse camp options, it's a great opportunity for girls to embark on a summer of adventure. Summer camp sessions are open to all girls in grades 1-12, and it is not required to be a current Girl Scout to attend and have an amazing summer experience. Programs will be running at camp properties in both Lenoir (Camp Ginger Cascades) and Sophia, NC (Keyauwee Program Center) and range from weeklong to half-week sessions. The full 2023 camp book and registration information can be found at https://www. girlscoutsp2p.org/en/camp/ summer-camp-opportunities. html. Girls who register by February 28 will also receive a $50 early bird discount on any full week overnight camp or CIT I leadership programs. Additional fi nancial assistance is also available to families who want to send their girl to camp, but have fi nancial limitations. "Each of the camp properties and programs provide unique experiences for our campers," said CEO of GSCP2P, Jennifer Wilcox. "Along with classic camp activities like swimming, boating and s'mores around the campfi re, having the chance to go to camp gives girls the courage to try new things, confi dence in being who she is and instills a love for being outside." Questions about specifi c programs, scholarship information and registration can be directed to info@ girlscoutsp2p.org or by calling 800-672-2148.

Department of Transportation is accepting applications for the 2023 Multimodal Planning Grant Program, which provides planning funds for identifying bike and walking paths and transit connections. The plans would address a comprehensive strategy, rather than a single project, for expanding bicycle and pedestrian opportunities in a community. The plans may address facilities, programs, policies and design guidelines that encourage safe walking and bicycling. The deadline for applications to be submitted electronically is 5 p.m. April 10. Award recipients are expected to be notifi ed by July. Communities can apply for a variety of plan options to meet specifi c needs, including multimodal, bicycle or pedestrian plans. In addition, the following options are available: • Municipalities of all sizes and counties with populations of less than 100,000 with an existing bicycle or pedestrian plan may apply to update their plan if it is at least fi ve years old. • Municipalities with populations of less than 10,000 may apply for a project acceleration plan – an abbreviated plan that prioritizes project identifi cation and implementation for small towns. This program is sponsored by the department's Integrated Mobility and Transportation Planning divisions. Since 2004, $8 million has been awarded to 248 municipalities and six counties through this program. Proposals are divided and judged in geographical groups to help establish equitable distribution of funding across North Carolina. Selected recipients commonly include a diverse mix of municipalities from large cities to small towns. For more information, contact Bryan Lopez at 919-707-2606 or balopez@ncdot.gov.
