welcome - Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus

welcome
Welcome to the magical world of summer camp at
Girl Scouts–Arizona Cactus-Pine Council, Inc. Camp
is a place where girls can create memories, make
new discoveries, develop lifelong friendships and
learn new skills. We strive to make camp a place
where girls can become the best they can be, learn
to care for and protect the environment and feel
a part of the camp community. At camp, girls are
empowered to step outside their comfort zone, take
risks and grow as leaders. All the programs and
sessions offered through our camps are designed
to fulfill Girl Scout Leadership Experience outcomes
while challenging girls to do new and exciting
activities–some of which are only offered at camp.
Please take time to explore which camp is right for
your camper. Whether your camper is new or a
seasoned camp veteran, there is a program for her.
Registration begins January 31! Registration is

paying for camp
Deposits
As we prepare for your camper to arrive, we incur
a variety of expenses. Accordingly, we request a
non-refundable $30 deposit for each session, due
with the registration form. If a participant cancels,
the deposit is retained. If the Council must cancel
a session, the deposit will be returned. Deposits
cannot be transferred to another camper.

GSACPC makes every effort to provide financial
assistance so that no girl misses out on camp due
to lack of funds. For those demonstrating need,
financial assistance is available for up to the
cost of a one week camp session. The financial
assistance form must be submitted with registration.

Counselors and Staff
Camp Directors recruit and screen mature, qualified
staff who have a desire to share their enthusiasm
for camping, the outdoors, and arts. We also hire
staff from other countries to give your camper the
chance to broaden her understanding of other
cultures. All camp staff participates in an intensive
pre-camp training which includes program, first
aid, CPR, camping, human relations skills and drug
testing.
Girls with Special Needs (including special diets)
Please contact the Camp Director for campers
requiring special diets (including severe food
allergies), special health care or with mobility
limitations. To be successful at camp, your camper
needs to be independent with self-care. Your
camper needs to be able to be successful in an 8:1
camper to staff ratio. We are dedicated to serving
ALL girls in our council and accommodations can be
made in many cases.
