Day Camp 2023


Troops 2256, 2010, 4727, and 2649 are excited to plan Pima's summer day camp.  The theme is "Once upon a Pima" and will celebrate reading and books and the stories we all love.

Our targeted dates are June 19-23rd from 9 am to 2 pm.  Girls in grades K-5 can attend day camp and girls in grades 6 to 8 can attend and earn their program aide, among other exciting activities.  Girls who have earned their program aide award can sign up to be day camp counselors. Girls need to have a Girl Scout membership to attend camp.

At this point in time, we have been unable to secure a location to hold the camp.  Notre Dame and Mountain View Presbyterian are both undergoing renovations this summer and are unable to host the camp.  Scottsdale Unified does not rent on Fridays and is indicating that they host their own camps and have limited availability.

We are reaching out at this time to see if collectively we can find a location. Again, our preferred dates are June 19-23rd.  We cannot do the camp sooner but are willing to entertain later dates as needed.

We need six classrooms and a large space for lunch and "sports."  Free is great but we can and will also pay for the space (day camp fees to be determined based on rental costs).

Schools and churches are ideal locations but we will consider any real estate.

We prefer to be in the general Pima area (Desert Mountain and Copper Ridge area), but, again, we can be flexible.
