Who are our campers?
Girls entering 1st-6th grades in NEXT school year-in the Fall (not grade at registration)
If girl is NOT a registered Girl Scout, please register ($25 additional) before May 1st.
What is our day camp?
Fort Collins Girl Scout Day Camp is:
- Day Camp Sessions are Monday thru Friday from 9 am - 3 pm
- A great introduction to Girl Scout camps for campers of all skill levels!
- An introduction to Girl Scouts! Girl does not need to be a girl scout to register, although she is asked to join GS before she attends due to insurance requirements. This costs $25 and can be done online at GSCO.
- A fun chance to build outdoor skills!
- The perfect place to make new friends and hang out with old friends.
- An awesome opportunity to build confidence and leadership skills!
Camp is also:
- Loud! (We'll sing you in, We'll sing you out!)
- Messy! (If you go home clean, you have missed something fun!)
- Crazy! (In that fantastic, silly, fun sort of way!)
New in 2020! Option to Earn the LIA pin at day camp
(NOTE - we have not decided yet if this is a 2021/COVID era option)
- We have added the option to earn the LIA pin as part of the day camp experience.
- This is for girls entering 6th grade in the fall interested in the path to becoming a certified PA.
- The LIA pin is the first step towards becoming a PA (which these girls will be old enough for summer of 2021) IF they continue the training path (see PA page for training requirements of a new PA).
- This option requires LIA option 6th graders attend an additional session on Saturday July 11 for 2 hours where they organize the badge they will be teaching a younger unit at day camp. The rest of the pin activities are earned while at day camp. This Saturday training is for all LIA option day campers from Session 1 or Session 2.
- To be a part of this group, during registration, select "6th grader with LIA option" instead of "6th grader".
- Not all 6th graders at camp have to participate in the LIA badge.
- Questions? Contact registrar@fcgsdc.org

- Team building (Everybody has fun when everybody, well, HAS FUN!)
- Arts and crafts (So much to create and share!)
- Beginning Compass work (You can't always rely on Google Maps!)

- And SO MUCH MORE!! (Really, we can't even list it all! Well, we have a list somewhere . . .)
