I want to volunteer, but I have another child who can't come. What are my options?

We have a tagalong unit available for girls younger than camp aged or boys up to 12. They must be potty trained. If that option doesn't work for you, there are other ways to volunteer on our Volunteer page and donations via our wishlist are always appreciated!

How do I register?

Visit the registration page on this website. Once you've submitted your registration (or application for teen staff) you will receive an email for payment. Camper space will be reserved once we have a completed registration, health form and payment. When a unit is full, we will begin a waiting list in case of cancellations.

Teen staff applications will be accepted through March 15, 2026. We will then review and make decisions about accepted staff. 

Can my camper be paired with a friend?

We will make an effort to accommodate a buddy request for girls of a similar age, but cannot guarantee them. Please write in the buddy's name when filling out registration. (Not applicable to teen volunteers)

My camper isn't a Girl Scout; may she still attend camp?

Not a Girl Scout? Not a problem! All girls are welcome at camp. If your daughter is not a registered Girl Scout, you may register here. This is required by our insurance.

My camper can no longer attend camp. What is your refund policy? 

Cancellations made by June 1 will receive a full refund if we are able to fill your camper's space with another camper.

A non-refundable amount of $30 will be kept if we are not able to fill your camper's space with someone from the waitlist. 

Cancellations made after June 1 will be at discretion of Camp Directors and Treasurer.

Is Girl Scout Adventure Day Camp affiliated with Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay and GSUSA?

Yes, however, we are not a Council-run camp. We operate as a State of Delaware Licensed Camp. All of our staff, including our directors, are volunteers. Nobody is paid for their work, and many of us put our own money into our programs. A portion of the registration fees go to Council to pay for use of the campground.

Will there be bugs at camp?

Likely, yes. Please use bug wipes or cream to prevent mosquito bites. Any camper with a bee allergy should be prepared with an epi pen if prescribed.

What if my camper has special needs?

We are an inclusive camp and strive to give every child a fun experience. That said, wheelchair accessibility is limited to the Troop House and STEM lodge, which is meant for younger girls. We will make every effort to come up with a solution for any girl who wants to come to camp. If you have concerns about your camper's needs, please reach out directly to gscbvolunteercamp@gmail.com

Is financial assistance available?

Yes! We want all girls to be able to experience camp. Please contact gscbvolunteercamp@gmail.com

What happens if one week is canceled?

If we have to cancel a week due to low registration, we will make every effort to move campers to the next week if they are available. If your camper isn't available, you will receive a full refund. If you are a full week volunteer able to switch weeks, your campers will be awarded a spot.

Why can't my camper bring her phone, tablet, smartwatch or other electronics to camp?

Aside from the chance of electronics being lost or damaged, camp is a time for girls to experience new things, be part of nature, and meet new friends. Girls should come to the camp with the expectation that they will have fun without the need for electronics. There is no need for them to have a cell phone, tablet, smart watch, etc. since there are adults nearby for emergencies. Every parent will receive a phone list to call in case of emergencies.

What are camp staff hours?

Both adult and teen staff hours are Mon-Wed 8:15am-4:00pm; Thursday is an overnight 8:15am-Friday 12 noon.

Where will we be sleeping Thursday night?

The youngest campers (1-2) will sleep indoors at either the Troop House or STEM lodge.  Campers finishing Grade 3 or above will be in outdoor units; Adirondacks or Canvas Tents. 

What are camper hours?

Day camp runs from 8:30 am-3:00 pm daily, Monday-Wednesday. Thursday is an overnight, where each unit will be cooking their lunch over the campfire as a group. Friday morning campers will need to be picked up at 11 am.
