Welcome!

Come join us for a week of fun and excitement as you help make special memories for the kids attending Mountaindale West Day Camp! Adult volunteers are critical to the success of our program. As an adult volunteer you get the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping our children and as a bonus, you ensure a spot in camp for your daughter with a discount on her registration. Non-Girl Scount member siblings are welcome. Everyone will have a great time and will want to return again next year!

Volunteers must be willing to be at camp for the entire week in order to ensure that your Girl Scout has a spot at camp;
Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older and must be registered Girl Scout members for the 2007-2008 membership year. (If you are not a registered Girl Scout member, contact Carol Loescher, our Volunteer Coordinator, at cnl@loeschercentral.com);
Volunteers must have passed a security clearance, performed by GSCRC, within the last three years. (If you have never had a security clearance performed or you know that your clearance was given more than three years ago, please contact Carol Loescher at cnl@loeschercentral.com);

Registration Process

There are two ways to register for camp:

   1. Online at this site. (NOTE: You must register yourself BEFORE you register your camper in order to receive the discount on her registration.)
