Volunteer-Run Sleepaway Camps

Volunteer run camps hero

To learn about each camp’s offerings, please visit their website.

Our volunteer-run camps offer girls enriching summer programs and quality camp experiences—just like our council-run camps. Sleepaway camps take place on GSNorCal properties or rented summer camps.

Volunteer-run camps are all staffed by screened and trained volunteers. Parents can often attend with their girl in exchange for helping in different areas of the camp operation. Each camp handles volunteer registration differently. To obtain information about volunteering, registration, or financial aid contact each camp! For any further questions or concerns contact us at volunteercamps@gsnorcal.org.
