Do you have some time you can give to camp?

This camp is staffed by volunteers who give their time freely so that all interested girls may attend camp. We are looking for adults to help provide this wonderful experience for girls. To accommodate all the girls who want to attend camp, lots of adults are needed. No previous experience is required! All volunteers receive training for their job and support from other adults. Volunteering at camp is a unique opportunity to positively impact your camper and have a great time doing it!

Volunteers are needed to work directly with units and also to offer special programs such as crafts, photography, environmental activities, and so on. In fact, almost any skill or interest you can share can probably be used!

Camp volunteers are required attend a Training Meeting on Sunday, June 2nd at 6pm @ Kevin Hammersmith Park Picnic Shelter in New Albany, IN. Pizza & Drinks provided.

*Please come out Wednesday evening 6/5/23 around 6pm. Dinner will be provided and you may bring your campers with you. We will use this time to finish planning and set up camp.*

Help us protect you and your camper!

Here at GSK, the health and safety of our girls is our top priority. All camp volunteers must be members of the Girl Scouts and complete a criminal background check. To volunteer, please visit our website at www.gskentuckiana.org/volunteer. Membership is $25 and expires on September 30of the current year. Once you complete your membership registration, you will receive an email with directions on how to submit your criminal background check. This background check costs $8 and is good for three years.

Who May Attend

Any girl may attend camp; however, she must join the Girl Scouts. Visit our website at www.gskentuckiana.org/join. Membership is $40 and expires September 30 of the current year. However, if she is registering after May 1, we suggest taking advantage of the new Extended Year Membership! A girl can sign up to be a Girl Scout, pay $50 and her membership will not expire until September 30of the NEXT year. This saves the family $30 and ensures her Girl Scout experience continues past camp!
