Program Aides (PAs)

A Program Aide (PA) is a Girl Scout who uses leadership skills to share her interests and experiences with younger girls in a troop, group, or camp setting.

REGISTRATION

To join us as a PA this year, please complete the GSHCDC Program Aide Registration via CampDoc.

TYPES OF ROLES

PAs and adult volunteers work together to make GSHCDC a fun, interesting, and well-run camp! 

PAs can volunteer in units, programs, and administration:

• Unit: TAGS, Boys unit, and Girl Scout units (Daisy, Brownie, and Junior age levels)
• Program: Archery, Crafts, Games, Leather, STEM, Theme, Nature
• Administration: Health, HQ, Kitchen, Quartermaster, Shed

BENEFITS

Camp is a great place to help kids, see familiar faces and make new friends, and have fun outdoors! You can also earn service learning hours for school.

TRANSPORTATION

PAs can ride the bus (and serve as bus monitors), drive to camp (with a full driver's license), carpool with an adult volunteer, or carpool with another PA (with a full driver's license).

Note: GSHCDC reserved an additional bus this year, to have enough seats to transport all PAs that need to ride the bus to get to and from camp. The increase in the PA registration fee helps to pay for the additional bus. 

For more information, go to our Transportation Information page.

LUNCH ORDER OPTION

PAs can order lunch on camp days, at a reasonable cost, using our Lunch Order Form. Meals will be prepared on-site by camp kitchen staff and PAs, and available for pick-up at lunchtime.

Orders and pre-payments must be submitted first thing in the morning, when signing in at the PA Unit, using the forms and envelopes available there. 

Pre-payments (to cover multiple days) are encouraged, with any unused funds returned to the PA at the end of the week. But you can also pay for a day at a time. All payments must be made by cash or personal check.

**Below is last year's lunch order form. The 2025 form will be posted closer to camp.**
