Day Camp 2017

NUMBER OF SPOTS LEFT: 2

What is Summer Day Camp?

An awesome, week-long summer day camp that is the "Happiest Day Camp on Earth."

Daily activities include swaps & crafts, science, dance, music, and sports.  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 multi-level 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 19-23 (Monday-Friday), 9 am-2 pm daily.  Girls can be dropped off starting at 8:45 each day so that they camp day can start promptly at 9 am.

Where?

Girl Scout Camp will be held at Mountain View Presbyterian Church at  8050 E Mountain View Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85258  

Who Can Attend?

Day Camp is limited to 100 Campers (Daisy, Brownie, and Junior Girl Scouts, who have just completed K-5 grades in May).  Our staff will be 20 older girl volunteers (grades 6+) and at least 10 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. Registrations received after May 1st will be $150 per girl.

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 and $100 if you agree to help as an adult volunteer.

How Do I Register?

Fill in this online form and then mail your completed permission slip/health form with a check for $100.  Both steps must be completed by May 1st in order to secure a spot at camp.

Could Camp Be Cancelled?

No way!  Summer Day Camp 2017 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 according to the theme each day.

The themes for the week are as follows:
  • Monday: Jungle theme (think: Tarzan, Lion King, Jungle Book)
  • Tuesday: Princesses (just your favorite fairy tale princess: Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty... etc)
  • Wednesday: Ocean (think: Nemo, Little Mermaid)
  • Thursday: Pirates (think: Peter Pan or Caribbean)
  • Friday: Ice and Snow Day (We're planning a very FROZEN day)
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.
