Registration is officially open!

Online registration details:

(Please be sure you have read the posts below this one for our camp details)

·         You will need to fill out a registration for each family member coming to camp. This can be done at the same time by clicking the “Add Another Registration” button at the bottom of the form after your signature, before the payment. You will have to reenter some of the same information such as address, phone number, etc. Unfortunately, to not do this would require us to upgrade to a more expensive plan and we don’t think that’s a good use of our resources.

·         You choose the current grade your camper is in when filling the form out. The system will automatically have your total due at the end. Note that as grades fill, you will receive a red note stating Participation Registration quantity exceeded. You will not be able to register for that grade. If you would like to be put on a waiting list, please email us at ValleyDayCamp@gmail.com asking to be put on the waiting list. Include your camper name and current grade.

·         Everyone needs to be a currently registered Girl Scout.  There is a link in the form that will take you to the Girl Scouts of Western Washington registration site if you need to do this.  If you are not in a troop, you will register as an individual member. On the registration form, when it asks for troop number, enter IRM if not in a troop.

·         If you want to order an extra shirt (optional), answer yes and that will be added to your total.

·         7th – 12th Grade can order sweatshirts. Again, this will be added to your total.

·         Signatures need to be typed in.

·         Payment can be made by check, cookie dough, financial aid, or credit card.  There will be a processing fee added for using a credit card.

·         If using cookie dough, you will need to include the cookie dough card number, expiration date, and CVC code.

·         Financial aid may be available through Girl Scouts. There is a link in the registration form to apply for financial aid.  Girl Scout registration can also be paid with financial aid if needed. Day Camps are considered to be an event rather than a camp. Girls using financial aid are allowed 3 events per year and 1 camp. You can also contact us at ValleyDayCamp@gmail.com for possible scholarships if you did not qualify for financial aide through GSWW.

·         Once you submit your registration form, you will receive an email that states we have received the Registration (step 1). It will contain the link for the health history form (required for everyone registered).  There will also be a link for the Camper Release form (required for each camper in Kindergarten – 5th grade), as well as a link for the Get to Know My Camper/LIA/CA

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at ValleyDayCamp@gmail.com.

We’ll have lots of Olympics themed activities as well as exploring countries all around the world.  Of course, we will also spend plenty of time on our tried and true camp favorites such as s’mores, songs, games, making new friends, exploring nature, and being in the great outdoors.  It is going to be a FABULOUS week of camp!

We plan to register more campers this year so please tell your friends and neighbors to join us and to register right away to be sure they, and you, get a spot in camp before we fill.

Valley Day Camp is a volunteer run Girl Scout camp.  All campers, teens, and volunteers must be registered Girl Scouts before registering for our camp.  If you need to register go online to Click Here

If you have any questions please email us at ValleyDayCamp@gmail.com


If this is your first time at our camp please use this link for more details about our camp. First Timers Click Here

Camper Details (current Kindergarten - 5th graders)

Camper registrations are processed on a first come, first served basis.  Your registration will NOT be processed until all forms and payment are complete and all attendees must be a registered Girl Scout.

Camp is likely to fill quickly, the sooner your completed registration is received the better.  The registration deadline is April 1st or when the appropriate unit fills, whichever comes first.  We typically fill before the deadline, so please do not wait to get your registration in.

You will need to complete ALL steps of the registration and submit full payment before we will begin processing your registration.  Please note that the registration is multiple steps and you must complete ALL of them before we can begin to process your registration.  

Campers may request ONE “buddy” for camp.  BOTH campers must request each other and both be in the same grade in order for us honor their buddy request and ensure their placement in the same unit together. 

Many families find it convenient to have an extra camp shirt so you don’t have to do laundry every night of camp. Additional camp shirts are $12.00 for campers. Extra shirts are only available with your initial registration.

We don’t allow any early pick-ups or drop offs so please plan accordingly.

We will email you by April 10th to confirm whether your daughter has a space at camp. 

We realize it is inconvenient to have to wait to find out if you have a space in camp but we run our registration this way in an attempt to serve the maximum number of girls possible. It pains us to have to turn girls away! However, there are many factors that we have to consider to maintain our high program standards.

Camp Costs:

$175 for campers (current Kindergarten-5th grades)

$12 for optional extra camper shirt (so you don’t have to do laundry every day)

LIA Details

Our Leader In Action Award Program (LIA) is for current 6th graders. 

Our LIAs spend their morning learning leadership skills and planning activities to lead with younger campers.  In the afternoon LIAs spend an hour working with our younger campers and use the rest of their time to enjoy the camp activities themselves.

LIAs will have a group activity in the week before camp (date TBD).  It is highly recommended for LIAs to attend this but it isn’t mandatory. 

LIA registrations will be processed on a first come, first served basis.  You will need to complete ALL steps of the registration and submit full payment before we will begin processing your registration.  Please note that the registration is multiple steps and you must complete ALL of them before we can begin to process your registration.  

We will contact you by April 10th to confirm whether your daughter has a space at camp.

Many families find it convenient to have an extra camp shirt so you don’t have to do laundry every night of camp. Additional shirts are $16.00 for LIAs.  Extra shirts are only available with your initial registration.

Camp Costs:

LIA registration $175

Extra camp shirt (to save on laundry) $16

CA Details

Our teen leadership programs are very important parts of our camp.  We believe that our teens are the future leaders of our community and our world.  We strive to give them a unique and fun leadership experience that will benefit them for many years to come. 

We wish we could take every applicant to our programs but many factors make this impossible for us to do.  Before you apply for our leadership programs please read the information below carefully. 

7th-12th graders must attend the mandatory camp training all day on Saturday, June 22nd.  There will also be 1-2 training sessions prior to camp, dates and times TBD.

Leadership programs have longer hours than campers.  They start earlier and stay later than the campers.  CAs arrive at 8:45 and leave at 4:30.  Teens are expected to stay for the entire time, except for an emergency.

CA registrations are not completely processed on a first come, first served basis.  Our teen programs fill quickly so it’s important to get your registration and application turned in as soon as possible.  Sometimes it is only open for a couple of days.

You will need to complete ALL steps of the registration, application*, and submit full payment before we will begin processing your registration.  Please note that the registration is multiple steps and you must complete ALL of them before we can begin to process your registration.  

*Teen registrations also require an application that is completed by the teen themself.  You’ll find the application link below.  You will not be considered for a CA position unless we have your complete registration, payment, and application before the CA registration closes.  Click Here for Application

We will contact you by April 10th to confirm whether your CA has a space at camp.

 

Camp Costs:

CA registration $90 (for those who have already had Valley Day Camp CA Training)

First Time CA registration $150 (for first time Valley Day Camp CAs)

Extra camp shirt (to save on laundry) $16

Camp sweatshirt (only available for CAs and volunteers) $45
