Hello
Thank You
Thank you so much to all our wonderful volunteers (adults and Caddies) for helping to make day camp 2021 a great success. We cannot have camp without all of our fantastic volunteers.
Please come back to our website in January to find registration information for Day Camp 2022.
Day Camp dates for 2022 are July 25-29, 2022
Day Camp Overview
Registration FOR 2021
The cost for day camp is $170. The cost increases to $190 after May 15th. We will continue to accept registrations until June 1st or until camp is full.
A camper may attend for free for each full-time adult volunteer. The camper registration fee will be reduced to $100 if an adult volunteers for 3 days.
Cookie credits may be used to help pay for camp. Grants-for-Girls are available on the GS Council web site. (see the registration page for a link).
Volunteer
Our day camp is an ALL VOLUNTEER run day camp. We organize and help at camp because we love enriching girls lives.
Please consider volunteering to help for the week or more by being on the planning team.
If you are able to volunteer at camp please fill out the adult volunteer registration form. If you wish to help on the planning committee, contact our day camp director
Events and Activities
Every year we work to provide a wide variety of camp activities that will enrich and enhance each campers experience. These activities include: swimming, boating, archery, team building, hiking, cooking outdoors, educational lessons and lots of fun! See our activities page for more information.
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
Additional Information in Relation to COVID-19
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.
- Please wear clean masks everyday.
- 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 June 1st, 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 directors at blsudaycamp@gmail.com.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at camp this summer.
Sincerely,
The BLSU Day Camp Planning Team
Camp Changes due to COVID-19
We will be making some changes to Day Camp THis YEar due to COVID
We recently received a list of COVID-19 restrictions for day camp from the council. The Day Camp Planning Committee is in the process of evaluating these to determine what changes will be made to our camp transportation and programing. This will take some time so please be aware we will be communicating changes with you as we make some modifications and decisions. As you all know the COVID-19 situation is fluid, and we may need to move back and forth on changes etc. Please know that we are working on everything as quickly as possible with the information we are given from the council. We thank you in advance for your patience.
These are the changes we can communicate with you right away.
- Day Campers must bring their lunches, snacks, and water bottles each day. We will not be able to provide shared food/cooking this year.
- There will be no overnight this year. Camp will end on Thursday.
- Everyone will need to wear masks all the time, except when eating or drinking.
Stay tuned for future communication about exactly how this will look.
Thank You,
BLSU Day Camp Planning Commitee
