welcome Welcome to the magical world of summer camp at Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council, a place where girls can create memories, make new discoveries, develop lifelong friendships and learn new skills. We strive to make camp a place where girls can become the best they can be, learn to care for and protect the environment and feel a part of the camp community. At all of our camps girls are empowered to step outside their comfort zone, take risks and grow as leaders. All the programs and sessions offered through our camps are designed to fulfill Girl Scout Leadership Experience outcomes while challenging girls to do new and exciting activities–some of which are only offered at camp.

Please take time to explore which camp is right for your camper. Whether your camper is new to camp or a seasoned veteran, there is a program for her.

Registration begins February 14! Registration is available online, via fax, via mail or walk-in.

Need more information? Not sure which program is right for your camper? Give us a call or send us an email–we look forward to hearing from you!

Happy Camping!

general information Not a Girl Scout? Not a Problem!

Simply include an additional $12 fee with your deposit.

Health and Safety Our camps meet standards set by Girl Scouts – U.S.A., the American Camp Association, and the Arizona Department of Health Services. The main gate is locked nightly and local law enforcement agencies are notified of our camp sessions. A health supervisor (RN, EMT or ARC Certified First Aider) is on duty at all times during the camp sessions to supervise the health and safety of all campers and to dispense all prescribed medications.

American Camp Association (ACA) Accredited All four of our camps are accredited by the American Camp Association and meet safety standards set by GSUSA, and Arizona Department of Heath and Services.

Counselors and Staff Camp Directors recruit and screen mature, qualified staff that has a desire to share their enthusiasm for camping, the outdoors and arts with your camper. We also hire staff from other countries to give your camper the chance to broaden their understanding of other cultures. All camp staff participates in an intensive pre-camp training which includes program, first aid, CPR, camping, human relations skills and drug testing. Specially qualified staff directs the water activities, archery, challenge course, rock climbing and horseback riding areas.

Do you know someone who would like to live and work in the cool pines this summer? We are currently hiring for all positions including Nurses, Cooks, Kitchen Staff, Counselors and Program Specialists. Staff must be 18 or have graduated from high school.

Want to stay in Phoenix for the summer? Camp Sombrero is also hiring for lifeguards, counselors and program specialists. Contact the council office for more info.

Nurses Needed One of the most important and critical jobs to fill at camps is the Health Supervisor which requires highly specialized training. Because it has become increasingly difficult to find nurses who can live and work the full summer at our camps, we are now looking for several individuals who would “job share” these very important positions at camp. Camp-age campers of the health supervisor can attend at a reduced fee. To be eligible you need to be a registered nurse, EMT or paramedic (licensed in AZ) who would consider living and working at camp for at least one full week (Sunday morning through Friday night). For more information, please call the council and ask for ext. 7191.

Girls with Special Needs (including special diets) Please contact the Camp Director for campers requiring special diets (including severe food allergies), special health care or with mobility limitations over rough terrain. At that time you will be able to discuss the nature of your camper’s needs and gather additional information to determine if the camp can provide the proper support, supervision and necessary accommodations for your camper to have a safe, fulfilling camp experience. To be successful at camp, your camper needs to be independent with self-care (showering, dressing, using the restroom).

Your camper needs to be able to function in an 8:1 camper to staff ratio. If you have concerns that functioning at this ratio would be a struggle please consider the Camp PossAbilities session at Shadow Rim Ranch, week 5a.

Buddies at Camp Girl Scout camp is a wonderful way to meet new people. A camper may request ONE “buddy” on her camp registration form. Both campers must register for the same program or session, list each other on their form and must mail registrations and deposits in the same envelope. Buddies can also be requested when completing the online registration process. Make sure you and your buddy are planning this together. Bunk buddy placement is not guaranteed. Large groups and multiple buddy requests CANNOT be accommodated.

Transportation to Camp Parents may drive their campers or register for bus transportation from the Phoenix metropolitan area.

We recommend the busing option. This gives girls an opportunity to meet other girls before they arrive at camp.

It also reduces the wear and tear on the camp’s natural environment. Resident Camp Buses are equipped with air conditioning and bathrooms and are supervised by bus chaperones. Day camp buses are either school buses or mini-vans. The bus fee for resident camp is $60 and day camp is $80 and is non-refundable. (One way is not available). Bus Locations can be found online. We must have a minimum of 20 campers per bus for day camp. If minimums are not met the bus MAY be cancelled.

Resident Camp Transportation Bus locations listed below.

Facilities at Camp Sleeping facilities at camp range from dorm style living to platform and traditional tents. Adults and girls do not share sleeping facilities with campers but live in close proximity to each other. All units are equipped with running water, shower houses and toilets.

Cell Phones @ Camp Cell phones are not allowed during any of our camp sessions. Please see the complete policy on our website.

Cell phones are expensive and can be lost or stolen and often have spotty reception at camp; cameras on cell phones may create privacy and legal concerns; sending your camper with a cell phone interferes with her ability (and yours) to build a trusting and independent relationship. Any cell phone brought to camp will be secured in the camp office until the camper returns home. Please help us by not sending a cell phone with your camper.

Email One way email, from you to your camper is available through “BunkNotes”. There is a non-refundable fee associated with BunkNotes. Although we try our best to ensure BunkNotes are delivered daily, we cannot guarantee delivery due to the intermittent nature of the Internet at Camp.

Bunk Replies will be available for campers to electronically respond to family! Bunk Replies are purchased with Bunk Notes. Campers write their message on the Bunk Replies, the camp faxes the Bunk Replies to Bunk1, and then Bunk 1 will email the Bunk Replies to the designated email addresses. Bunk Replies will not be sent on the last day of camp.

Blogs Each camp will post a weekly blog to help parents stay connected to what is happening at camp. Our blogs might contain pictures and stories but we can, in no way, guarantee pictures or stories about every child. The blog is written with the intention of keeping parents informed of the weather and exciting activities that occur at camp.

Check out an example of last year’s blogs.

paying for camp Deposits In anticipation of a camper’s attendance, various expenses are incurred on her behalf such as supplies, equipment, registration and camp staffing costs. Accordingly, there is a non-refundable $30 deposit for each session requested due with the registration form. Forms received without the deposit(s) will be returned. As the registration process continues, this deposit is applied to the session cost. However, if a session is cancelled by the participant, the deposit is retained. If the council must cancel a session the deposit will be returned. Please note that the deposit is not transferable to another camper.

Cookie Dough You can use cookie dough to pay for any or all of your summer camp balance.

Payment of Balance The balance of the camp fee is due by May 1st or two weeks before the start of the session. You will receive an invoice with your confirmation materials as well as an email reminder 3 weeks before your payment due date.

Cancellation of registration may occur if payment is not received 2 weeks prior to the start of camp.

Financial Assistance – Camperships Financial assistance is available for a maximum of the cost of a one week camp session to those demonstrating need. GSACPC makes every effort to provide financial assistance so that no girl misses out on the opportunity to attend camp due to lack of funds. If you feel that attending camp would be a financial hardship, please apply for financial assistance. Financial assistance can cover a portion of the fee and even the total fee minus deposit to those demonstrating need. The financial assistance form must be submitted with the registration form. The Financial Assistance Request form can be found online. Fill out the entire form. Incomplete forms will not be processed.

Notification will be sent in the mail separate from the confirmation packet. A refundable deposit of $10 must be included with registration. Financial assistance forms MUST be submitted with a registration form!

Online Registration Online registration is available for all programs except for Family Camp. Register online at www.girlscoutsaz.org.
