Full-time Adult Volunteers receive free registration for one Girl Scout (must be from same household and volunteer the entire week).
Part-time volunteers (two or more days) receive a free t-shirt and staff bandana.
Adult volunteers may bring Pixies (age 5 and under) or boys from their household at a reduced cost.

If applicable, a Pixies unit includes preschool aged boys and girls, ages 3–5. *Preschoolers must be potty trained to attend camp. Pixie registration is $20.
Boys Unit and Pixie Unit are only available if there are enough volunteers to meet the adult/child ratio for all of our registered Girl Scouts. Boys and Pixie registrations are not guaranteed, and refunds will be issued if we cannot host these units.
Camp Aides are rising 9th–12th grade Girl Scouts who help at camp. Registration is free for Camp Aides. Aides must attend two overnight FUN trainings at camp. Dates will be shared with registered Camp Aides.
Note: Girls currently in 8th-12th grade who do not wish to be a Camp Aide but still want to attend camp are welcome to apply as a regular camper.
