What is a Caddie? Caddies are girls in grades 8 – 12 who assist at camp in various ways depending on their age, training, and experience. Girls in grade 7 will become a caddie with training provided during camp.

Adult Volunteers are needed as unit staff, first aiders, and program support. Our camp is 100% volunteer planned and staffed. Camp can’t happen without the generous donation of time from volunteers! All adults are encouraged to volunteer to make camp a success for all of our children.

Volunteers receive a free camp T-shirt. Anyone volunteering all 4 days will receive a $65.00 discount on the registration fee of one girl. The application must include Volunteer Application & Health History, along with daughter’s registration & health history.

All volunteer staff will be expected to become a registered Girl Scout if not already a member ($10 membership fee; membership information available at www.girlscoutsrv.org ) and to attend Day Camp training.
