How do we register?
Registration MUST be submitted via this web site - see the registration page for more information. Registration opens will open once we have a minimum number of volunteers committed for the week. Please sign up for the mailing list to be notified when registration will be open. Why should I Volunteer?
Girl Scout Sammamish Day Camp is a 100% volunteer-led camp meaning there are NO paid employees. Through volunteers like yourself, the camp is able to make a huge difference in the number of girls that can participate at camp! Volunteers, requiring adult presence at camp Mon-Fri from 8:30am to 4:30pm daily, will have guaranteed placement in camp for their campers as long as all paperwork and payment is received no later than April 30th. You can also buddy-up with a friend to cover the week's volunteer commitment and still receive placement for both of your families. |

What will my child eat at camp?
Your camper must bring a hardy lunch to camp (Monday through Thursday) as campers are very active and often need a larger lunch than usual. Friday's activities include an all camp lunch provided by the camp. The camp letter sent home closer to camp will include more details about the Friday lunch. If your camper is a picky eater or has allergies, you may want to send along additional food on Friday.
Small snacks are provided once each day but PLEASE note that these are fun snacks and only supplement a hardy meal.

Your child has the option to list a "camp buddy" during the online registration process. Note the friend MUST also list your child as their "buddy". Buddy placement is not guaranteed, though we strive to organize camp so that it is the best experience for everyone!
