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 2026, 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 January application period. Full-Time adult volunteers and their children are guaranteed a space in camp (per admission guidelines). Priority Lottery placement will be made to any applicant who is a registered Girl Scout in a Troop or as a 'Juliette' (registered but no troop). [The Girl Scout registration year is Oct 1-Sept 30].

ANT (Aid-in-Training) Program
We have a leadership program for girls who have completed 6th grade, and who have previously attended Camp Arequipa at least one summer as a camper. ANTS may only be held in some of the sessions. We will look at requests for sessions as well as when our ANT trainers are available, in order to determine the sessions we will hold the ANT program.

WHAT’S NEXT?
Get ready for summer!

KEEP TRACK OF YOUR KEYCODE!
Unit assignments and bus stops are published on your Family Review log-in page approximately a week before your camp session starts. You will be notified by email when they have been made; you’ll need to log in to check.

If you were accepted at camp…
You’ll see an “X” or “Unit” in the Session to which you’ve been assigned. If you are placed from a waitlist, payment is due within two weeks of notification of placement.

  • Forms are due Tuesday, March 31. You will be notified by email if paperwork is missing.

If you are unable to attend camp, please let us know ASAP. You have until three weeks before your session starts to get a refund (less your application fee and fees to register as a Girl Scout), and you will allow a waitlisted girl to go to camp. Remember that ANT fees are not refundable.

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.

Volunteers!
We look forward to seeing you at Site Safety Training the Sunday before your camp session begins.
