Spend your summer guiding campers through the great outdoors. Encourage curiosity, inspire adventurers, and be a role model for girls by volunteering at day camp!

We rely on dedicated volunteers to help us create and deliver nine successful, fun-filled weeks of day camp each summer. The number of girls who can be accepted for camp is dependent on the number of adults who volunteer. Grab your friends and sign up to give girls a summer full of possibilities.

Being a day camp volunteer is awesome!

There are great benefits to being a day camp volunteer.

• Experience the satisfaction of helping girls learn and have fun outdoors.

• Enjoy spending your summer making lifelong friends and memories.

• You are guaranteed placement in the day camp of your choice.

• Receive one free day camp session for one girl relative who is a currently registered Girl Scout.

Most camps provide separate programs for preschoolers and boys of elementary age for a minimal cost.
