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).
