VOLUNTEERDAY CAMP VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Are you interested in providing girls with their first, exciting outdoor experience with Girl Scouts? Do you love nature and want to make an impact, while also creating fun memories? Then volunteering at day camp may just be your thing!

We depend on dedicated volunteers to help us create and deliver nine successful, fun-filled weeks of day camp each year. The number of girls who can be accepted for camp is tied directly to the number of adults who volunteer. So, we ask that you, or anyone else you know who may be interested, to please consider volunteering at day camp. With your help, this summer is going to be a blast with memories and laughs to last a lifetime!

• The opportunity to make lifelong friends and memories you’ll talk about for years!

• Guaranteed placement in the day camp of your choice.

• One fee waiver to be given to any relative who is currently a registered Girl Scout.

Preschool and boy programs are available at most camps for a nominal cost.

Please sign-up by Friday, March 13, 2015. This lets us know how many girls we can accommodate when planning for each camp.

To apply, you’ll need to complete the following:• Day Camp Volunteer Position Request Form• Volunteer Application for Service in Girl Scouting**If you have previously completed the Volunteer Application for Service in Girl Scouting and are an active volunteer, you only need to complete the Day Camp Volunteer Position Request Form. Once approved as a volunteer, there are additional day camp training requirements. Please contact the camp director for details.

Girls are waiting for you!

• See spiders, swat mosquitoes, do some hiking, and learn to spot poison ivy!• Learn some new camp songs.• Rough it. Day camp sites are often rustic.* *Some sites have latrines (outhouses, so no flushing!) and, at some, we have to put up our own shelters.
