Wayzata
Day Camp 2010
Weird Science
July
26–29
Camp Elk River
|
“Weird
Science” is the theme for this year where girls will have fun
doing wacky science projects. Wayzata Day Camp 2010
will be held July 26-29.
Day Camp is run strictly by
volunteers and
is open to all girls in our service unit who are entering 1st through
12th grade in the fall. It is held at Camp Elk
River and consists of 9 units with 16 girls in each unit and 1 unit is
for girls going into 7th grade who will be going through the "Caddie To
Be" training. Girls who will be in 8th-12th grade are Caddies or Unit
Assistants. In addition, campers who are
entering 4th grade and and up in the fall may participate in an
optional
overnight campout.
Confirmed campers will receive an invitation to the overnight.
For more information, take a look at the Day Camp Frequently Asked Questions.

awesome and highly informative Day
Camp training
video created by Sarah P. for her Silver Award project!

Volunteer
at Day Camp and
spend quality time with the girls!
|
The Wayzata Day Camp is run
solely by volunteers...consider volunteering today!
Can you give a day so your daughter can have a great experience at camp?
We need Adult (including parents, aunts, uncles, older
siblings), Unit Assistant (girls going into 11th or 12th grade) and
Caddie (girls going into 8th –10th grade in the fall)
volunteers to help us deliver the program the week of camp. The number
of Girl Scouts accepted at camp is determined by the number of
volunteers we have. Our maximum capacity is 150 Campers. If more than
150 registrations are received and/or we do not have enough volunteers
to accommodate 150 campers, a lottery will be held. Girls who have a
4-day or 2-day adult volunteer at camp are guaranteed acceptance.

Why Volunteer at Day Camp?
It's a great experience and a wonderful way to make a positive impact
in the life of a camper. Parents and adults who have volunteered in the
past have told us it's the best time they had all summer.
We Need You!
Wayzata Day Camp is completely volunteer run by parents and
adults in our service unit. You don't need any experience with camping,
outdoor skills, or nature - just a desire to help put on a great
program for the campers.
Where Are You Needed Most?
We have the greatest need for adults who can
volunteer at camp for four days and work with campers. We must have two
adult volunteers in a unit, and at least one needs to be a four-day
adult volunteer to ensure continuity for the girls. Everything will be
prepared for you, with older girls in charge to provide assistance and
guidance!

The staff and directors will
do everything possible to help girls adjust to camp life. However, as
an approved day camp of the Girl Scouts of Minnesota and Wisconsin
River Valleys, the Wayzata Service Unit Day Camp reserves the right to
send home from day camp any girl who consistently exhibits unsuitable
behavior, endangers the camp community, or whose behavior towards
others or herself is not reflective of the Girl Scout Promise or Girl
Scout Law. The girl’s parent/guardian is responsible for
picking her up from day camp. In this case there is no refund.
