Sad Camp News


It is my very sad duty to report that due to Covid-19 Girl Scouts of Western Washington has decided to cancel all summer camp programs, including Valley Day Camp.  We are all taken by surprise at this announcement and are extremely unhappy to lose our amazing week with you.  We’ve had 17 fabulous years of camp and are looking forward to many more to come, just not this year.  We remain committed to providing high quality programming to girls in our valley and providing a place for everyone to Discover, Enjoy, and Belong.

We realize that everyone is struggling with different things right now.  We are incredibly sad about losing our camp week and we know you are too.  Additionally, we are unfortunate to have expenses we still need to cover.  We’ve been working on our 2020 camp since last July so we have already bought things to be ready.  We have expenses like storage that we have to cover all year and ones like the dock remodel that we’ve been working on so we could have fishing again.  If you are able and willing we hope that you will make a donation to Valley Day Camp to help us keep things on track for our expenses.  If you would like to make a donation from your camp refund please email us by Friday, April 3rd to let us know and we will deduct it from your refund.  We appreciate your help on this!  We will mail refunds to all campers, LIAs, PAITs, PAs, and adult volunteers by/on April 10th.

We’re all so sad to be missing camp this year and we know you are too!  Take care and stay safe!  We’re looking forward to doing camp again with you in the future!
