2022 Camp Adventure Guide

Day Camp

Day Camps are the perfect option for busy summer schedules! Girl Scouts will have fun in the sun playing team-building games, singing songs, exploring nature and even getting a little messy in the great outdoors. Led by volunteers throughout our Council, Day Camps help girls explore their unique communities at a variety of sites, including state and local parks, community centers and Girl Scout camps.

Volunteer All Day Camps are planned and staffed by volunteers—consider serving in a volunteer role this summer! When you volunteer full-time, your Girl Scout gets to attend for half price, and the Day Camp can accommodate more girls. When you volunteer part time, your Girl Scout is guaranteed a place in camp. Fill out an application at girlscoutsem.org/daycamp to become a part of the team! Waitlist Capacities are based on the number of volunteers currently committed at each camp to maintain the appropriate adult-to-girl ratio and current COVID-19 guidelines. Spots open and girls are moved off the waitlist as additional volunteers are secured. Girls on the waitlist are subject to the same refund policy as those who have been accepted into the program. Refunds A written request must be provided to the Answer Center two weeks prior to the start of the program to receive a refund. No refunds will be given if a camp session is dismissed early or begins late due to unforeseen extreme weather conditions. Patch A 2022 Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri Day Camp Patch is included in the cost of registration. Some camps offer Day Camp-specific patches and T-shirts for an additional cost.

Confirmation Letters Since each camp has a unique theme and program activities, confirmation letters are sent from the directors of each camp at least two weeks prior.
