OUR CAMP

LOCATED at historic Camp Arequipa in Fairfax, California, Arequipa Day Camp is a Girl Scout summer day camp operated since 1960 by the volunteer efforts of three local Girl Scout Associations in conjunction with Girl Scouts of Northern California Council.

COME HAVE FUN WITH US! Our camp offers girls who are 5 or older through the summer after 5th grade:
Archery • Swimming • Outdoor Cooking • Nature Activities • Hiking • Girl Scout Program • Arts & Crafts • Singing • New Friends & FUN!

DURING the summer of 2020, we will present four 5-day sessions to accommodate the demand for quality camps for girls in Marin County.

The session dates are:
  • Session I: June 15-19
  • Session II: June 22-26
  • Session III: July 6-10
  • Session IV: July 13-17

Camp Arequipa places campers through a LOTTERY process, from all campers who apply during the regular February application period. Full-Time adult volunteers and their children are guaranteed a space in camp (per admission guidelines).

If you are waitlisted…
You will not see an “X” next to your child’s name. We are placing girls as space becomes available. You will be notified as soon as we have an opening for you. Consider volunteering as a full-time adult volunteer if you want to make sure your child gets into camp.
