Day Camping provides opportunities for girls to enjoy outdoor activities and learn independence skills that will prepare them for a more extended stay at a Girl Scout Resident Camp. Experienced volunteers are responsible for organizing, directing and staffing Day Camps that generally operate for three to five days. Training is provided for adult volunteers who wish to work in a Day Camp setting. Day Camps are offered in many areas of the council.
