• Full-time adult volunteers receive a credit of $75 credit toward 1 camper’s fee!   To receive this credit you must be flexible and willing to be placed where needed at camp, even if this is not with your troop or camper. Full-time = 5 full days at camp.
• ALL Adult Volunteer Staff (over 18) must be or become a registered Girl Scout Responsible Adult Volunteer(a registered adult with Girl Scouts and background screened).  If you are not currently a GS Responsible Adult you will be emailed the information you need to complete this requirement once you have registered for the Orange Day Camp on the GSOC site.

​Troop leaders - See the Troop Leader Packet and needed Troop Worksheet and Roster for submitting  your troop’s forms and payment.
  
PLEASE NOTE: Day camp is an individual camper program, but troops are welcome and will be placed together when possible. Troops that want to be placed together MUST provide volunteers to meet our ratio of 1 full-time adult for every 8 campers (or part-time volunteers to meet full-time equivalent requirements); this ratio includes Pixies & boys you sign up. Campers should always indicate a ‘buddy’ on their forms in case we cannot place your troop together. Troop leaders/parents will be notified ASAP if there are not enough volunteers to form units and place your camper(s). In this case, your fees will be refunded. Refund policy for those who drop is on our website. Complete information for the week of camp will be sent out via mail in mid-June and posted on our website www.OrangeDayCamp.org.
