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.

Volunteers

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!

Camp Behavior Agreement

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.
