To Reserve Space
To reserve spaces in the council-directed day camps, you should mail a deposit of $50.00 per camp per girl. The deposit will be applied toward the total cost of camp. Except in emergencies, this deposit is non-refundable. Please use a separate registration form for each girl.
Registration Deadlines
The registration deadline for each council directed day camp is three weeks before the event. All registration fees must be paid in full at this time.
Non-Girl Scout Applicants
Girls who are not registered members of Girl Scouts can attend the council directed day camps by paying an additional $10.00 membership fee. This fee is only applicable to the first camp. Additional camps are regular price.
Day Camp T-shirt Order
This year each participant in council directed day camps will receive a day camp T-shirt. There is no additional cost for the shirt. Read your day camp application carefully and indicate the proper shirt size for your child. Should a camper register for more than one camp she will only receive one shirt, which should be ordered on the first camp registration.
Program Aide Opportunities
Girls who have completed seventh grade and the council’s Program Aide training may apply to be a Day Camp Program Aide. Interested Cadette and Senior Girl Scouts should complete the Day Camp Program Aide Application found in this brochure. There is a $30.00 fee (one time only payment) for each applicant.
Young women should feel free to apply to more than one, day camp program. All Program Aides must attend the required day camp staff training prior to camp. Program Aides will earn apprenticeship hours towards their Program Aide Patch. Don’t wait; apply early as slots fill quickly.
Placement of Girls in Day Camp Units
The Day Camp Director assigns girls to camper units. Placement is by school grade and the level of Girl Scouting in which they participate. When possible, and at the director’s discretion, a girls can be assigned to a unit with a single friend who meets the same placement criteria. Day camping is an experience where girls get to meet and make new friends.
Adult Staff Information
We need adults to serve as coordinators and unit staff members at each of the council-directed day camps. We also need activity leaders and health supervisors. Girl Scout leader experience is not a prerequisite for these positions. Adults working as day camp unit staff need only have the desire to work with children in helping to provide meaningful and exciting summer activities. Training and/or orientation will be provided for all adults working in these positions. Attendance at pre-camp training is required for all staff members. If we do not have enough staff committed to work at day camps when we reach the registration deadline, we must cancel the camp.
