Volunteer-Led Day Camps
Volunteer-led day camps are put together by Girl Scouts, for Girl Scouts! These camps are hosted by River Valleys volunteers and are a great way to learn new skills, meet other Girl Scouts in the area, and most importantly—have a rip-roaring good time!
While hosted by specific service units, these camps are open to all Girl Scout sisters.
Philosophies and Guidelines
BLSU has an established volunteer-run day camp program with two main goals:
- To provide a safe, fun, friendly, and educational outdoor camp experience; during which, girls have ample opportunities to learn about themselves and the world around them.
- To offer leadership opportunities for young women to progress with increasing responsibilities through Jr. Caddie, Caddie, Sr. Caddie, and young adult roles. For more information on Caddies see our Caddie page.
COVID-19 Precautions (Last Updated 2/4/2024)
COVID-19 Precautions
COVID is still with us. Please be careful before coming to camp and while at camp to keep everyone healthy. Below are things to think about in order to keep everyone healthy and safe while at camp during these unprecedented times.
We want everyone to be safe and have a wonderful time at camp this year. There are things we will ask of you before camp and during camp to help keep everyone safe:
- We would appreciate your consideration in staying away from large crowds and non-vaccinated people for 2 weeks before camp.
- Wash hands frequently with soap and water and use hand-sanitizer.
- Please monitor your camper's, caddies', or adult volunteer's temperature and/or other COVID-19 like symptoms. If you are concerned please stay home.
- Due to the cost of running camp, we will be unable to offer refunds after May 15th, regardless of the reason why one must miss camp. (Basically we will have already spent the money on supplies, activities, and busing by then and won't have the money to offer a refund).
Please remember that the day camp planning team is all volunteers and we are doing our best to keep everyone healthy and safe AND have a meaningful camp experience.
If you have any questions or concerns please email our camp director at blsudaycamp.director@gmail.com.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at camp this summer.
Sincerely,
The BLSU Day Camp Planning Team
