Day Camp Information

What is Summer Day Camp?

An awesome, week-long summer day camp highlighting the decades of the 20s, 50s, 60s, 80s, and 90s.  Start planning your outfits to match the decades!

Daily activities include swaps & crafts, science, dance, music, sports, and a special mystery rotation.  Our day camp fills up fast because it's so fun, so register now!

Day Camp is planned and organized by Girl Scout Troop 2256, a Senior/Ambassador Girl Scout troop from Pima Neighborhood (part of Girl Scouts―Arizona Cactus-Pine Council, Inc.).  Camp activities are led by volunteer Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador Girl Scouts and supervised by adult volunteers. 

When?

June 20-24 (Monday-Friday), 9 am-2 pm daily.  

Where?

Desert Mountain High School (12575 E.  Via Linda, Scottsdale).  All activities will take place in air-conditioned rooms.  

Who Can Attend?

Day Camp is limited to 120 Campers (Daisy, Brownie, and Junior Girl Scouts registered in Pima or Indian Bend neighborhoods, who have just completed K-5 grades in May).  Our staff will be 30 older girl volunteers (grades 6+) and at least 12 adult volunteers (18+ years).

**Girls must have current membership with Girl Scouts.** 

Membership is $15 and girls need not join a troop (although we are happy to assist you in finding a permanent Girl Scout home).  This fee provides girls with an insurance policy.

What is the Cost?

$100 per girl.  There will be no refunds or partial refunds for any reason.  

We need adult volunteers.  To guarantee a spot for your camper, agree to help as an adult volunteer!  

You can earn a rebates of up to $60 if you agree to help as an Adult Volunteer (register here:

How Do I Register?
Fill in this online form and then mail your completed permission slip/health form with a check for $100 (contact the troop for mailing address).  Both steps must be completed in order to secure a spot at camp.

Could Camp Be Cancelled?

No way!  Summer Day Camp 2016 will happen rain or shine!  The only reason camp could be cancelled is if there are not enough adult volunteers to meet minimum safety standards.  If cancelled, all campers will be notified and registration fees refunded.  You can help us out by giving us a day or two of your time!

What Does my Girl Scout Need to Bring?

Everyone should bring their own sack lunch Monday through Friday.  Everyone should also bring a bottle of water each day.  Refrigerators and microwaves are not available.  

Girls need to wear closed-toe shoes and we encourage girls to dress to the decade each day! Flapper dresses on Monday, poodle skirts on Tuesday....

Drop Off, Pick Up, and Safety

We will strive to meet every Girl Scout safety recommendation.  All girls must be signed in and out by a parent/guardian each day.  If she is going home with someone else, we must receive a note from the parent.  Please pick up your camper on time.  No supervision will be provided after 2:15 pm.
