The enormous sleepover was a chance for more than 250 girls from all around the state to explore a host of medieval activities in a fun and unique environment.
The aim is to see girls develop confidence and independence while creating lasting memories and making friends with other Girl Guides from across the state.
Events included were, a knights school, a dragons labyrinth, balloon art where girls could enhance their jester skills by learning balloon twisting, bracelet making, bath bombs and even potion making.
Girl Guides Victoria provides programs that help girls to get curious about the world and explore a wide variety of experiences and interests, from camping to STEM.
Girl Guides was established in 1910 and has grown to become one of the biggest all girls organisations in the world. It aims to promote citizenship, volunteerism, social awareness and self-reliance.
Acting guides CEO Amanda Kelly said the not-for-profit organisation supports girls and women in leadership, as well as giving them opportunities to make a difference in their community.
“Snoozefest is a fantastic event in the guiding calendar, and the girls were very excited about taking part,” she said.
