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 2023, we will present four three 5-day sessions and one three-day session to accommodate the demand for quality camps for girls in Marin County.

The session dates are:
  • Session I: June 19-23
  • Session II: June 26-30
  • Session IV: July 5-7 (NEW!!- This 2 OVERNIGHT session for girls entering grades 9-12) Sleep under the stars. Limited capacity.
  • Session III: July 10-14

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).

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 Sunday, April 30. 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.
