If you are a new staff member, WELCOME! We are always so excited to get new people to come to camp with us and experience the joy of being outdoors and passing along their knowledge and skills to younger Girl Scouts. If you are a returning staff member, WELCOME BACK! We are so looking forward to another amazing year of camp together.
All new staff members are required to complete 18 hours of training. Here is a breakdown of how to meet those requirements: Volunteer Training Information Sheet.
Returning staff are only required to attend the on-site training on June 22nd 10am - 3pm. However, there are many online training opportunities that may help you prepare for your next group of girls at camp! To find all the online courses available, log in or create an account on The Volunteer Learning Portal.
Everyone needs to verify their registration status and add themselves to the Day Camp Crew through the MyGS portal on the GS NorCal website. It is a bit tricky to do this year so here is the best way we have found to add yourself to the Day Camp Crew role.
Once you have logged into MyGS, click the yellow 'Volunteer' button in the top right corner.
In the search, use your zip code (or 94563 if you are out of the area) and under 'Position' type in 'Camp Crew'.
In the search results, find the option with the affiliation 'Alvarado Day Camp 53102 through Camp Troop' and select 'Add Role' then in the bottom right, select 'Add Volunteer'.
On the 'Add Membership Details' page, under 'Volunteer Position' select 'Day Camp Crew' and then select yourself as the contact to be added. The steps from here on out should be straightforward(ish) so that you can review and check out!
If you have any questions or difficulties, please email info@gsnorcal.org and they will be able to help make sure you are all good to go. Thank you for your patience as we navigate the newly updated websites together!
