Ready to Explore, Girl Scouts?

Hello Girl Scouts, I hope this message finds you ready for a season of exploration, growth, and connection at our beautiful Camp Arnaz. As CEO of Girl Scouts of California’s Central Coast, I’m excited to share this year’s Camp Program Guide, your inside look at the exciting opportunities waiting for Girl Scouts and our wider community.

Tucked beneath the stunning Topa Topa Mountain Range, Camp Arnaz offers more than just campfire songs and s’mores—it’s a place where girls build confidence, spark curiosity, and grow into leaders. This year’s guide highlights a variety of programs designed to connect girls with the outdoors through creative challenges, STEM exploration, equestrian experiences, and hands-on learning.

But Camp Arnaz isn’t just for Girl Scouts. We’re proud to open our gates to schools, nonprofits, businesses, and families looking for a welcoming space to host events, connect with nature, or enjoy a peaceful retreat. From weekend facility rentals and public workshops to collaborative community events, Camp Arnaz continues to grow as a hub for learning, gathering, and adventure for all.

We invite you to explore our latest offerings—whether you’re a troop looking for your next adventure, a parent seeking an empowering program for your child, or a local organization in need of an inspiring space to gather. Camp Arnaz is here for you.

Let’s make this a year filled with laughter, learning, and leadership in the outdoors. We can’t wait to see you

Rancheras at Camp Arnaz J

C S

A

At Camp Arnaz, the Ranchera Program is where horsemanship becomes a true passion. Girl Scouts roll up their sleeves and take part in the daily care of our horses—feeding, cleaning, grooming, exercising, and even assisting with basic first aid and training. As they grow in knowledge and confidence, experienced Rancheras are invited to help lead programs and share their skills with others. It’s a hands-on, meaningful way to connect with horses, build responsibility, and become part of the heart of our equine team. $30/year membership fee (must be registered Girl Scout)

Typical Ranchera Day: 9 am 9:30 am 10:30 am 11:30 am 12 pm 1 pm 2 pm 3:30 pm 4 pm

Troop Volunteers

Troop volunteers help Girl Scouts become stronger, kinder, and braver than they ever thought possible. Troop leaders—and volunteers in other roles, like Troop Treasurer or Cookie Chair— engage regularly with their Girl Scouts and guide them through activities, like earning badges, exploring the outdoors, or running their own business through the Girl Scout Cookie Program.

Ready to engage with your community, grow your skills, and show Girl Scouts what it means to be unstoppable?

Then you’re ready to be a Troop or Service Unit Volunteer!

Service Unit Volunteers

Service Unit volunteers are the network of support throughout your community.

They empower Troop leaders and Troop volunteers to be the role models that Girl Scouts need and connect them with the resources for unforgettable Troop experiences.
