Why Volunteer?
Peninsula Girl Scout Day Camp fills up every year, but the children of at-camp volunteers are guaranteed a spot.

At-camp volunteers can sign up tag-a-longs! Campers will come home with stories about their day, new songs and skills they've learned.
Volunteering with Day Camp is joining a community! Many of our volunteers have so much fun at Camp that they continue to volunteer for years after their kids graduate.
