Camp Staff

Join Our Camp Staff

WE HAVE 3 CAMP STAFF JOBS:
​UNIT STAFF, CORE STAFF, AND PRE-CAMP STAFF

Our staff return year after year because it is the most fun they have all summer!  You will work hard but you will play hard too.  Whether you serve as unit staff, part of our core staff team, or just come to help out during pre-camp, you will be a highly valued, integral part of the staff team and part of our Camp Butano Creek Family.

Unit Staff and Core Staff Requirements:
  • Attend mandatory  ​Training Weekend held in June (2 days)
  • Attend Camp Session (10 days; 2 days of training followed by 8 days of camp)
  • Current health form signed by a physician 
  • Arrive at camp two days prior to start of session; three for specific core positions
  • Sign a volunteer contract with GS NorCal

Please note that our volunteers do not get to decide which camp staff position they will fill.  When staff register, they get to list a first and second choice.  Our Directors do everything possible to make sure that staff members are happy with their assignments.

Unit Staff

Unit staff are at the heart of our camper's experience.  Our unit staff work in teams of two to four to plan our camper's activities and see to their well-being over the 8 days of camp.  Staff will be responsible for the care and well-being of campers 24/7 with a daily two-hour break.  Our core staff will provide materials and instructions for some activities including daily outdoor cooking, crafts, and target activities (wrist rockets or archery).  

Core Staff

Our core staff support our unit staff by providing programing during specific times of the day and see to the overall running of our camp.  Directors, nurses, and cooks arrive at camp one day before all our other staff.

NURSES
Our Camp Nurses are specially trained to respond to issues that come up at camp.  They also are responsible for administering all medications.
Picture
PROGRAM
Our Program Team provides nightly activities for our campers and special themed days and events.
Picture
COOKS
Our team of Cooks work diligently to provide nutritious and tasty meals for all our campers.

Picture
CRAFTS
These staff members offer daily crafts for our campers.
Picture
RANGE MASTERS
These staff members provide our daily target program (archery/wrist rockets).
Picture
FLOATERS
These staff members help drive campers, do odd jobs around camp and fill in where needed.

Pre-Camp Staff

Want to test camp out?  Not ready for a 12 day commitment?  Then being pre-camp staff might be the right fit for you.  You'll get to meet our regular camp staff, stay at the site, and take in the camp vibe with only a 3 day commitment.  

Pre-Camp Volunteer Requirements:
  • Attend 3 days of Pre-Camp for your session
  • Current health form signed by a physician 
  • Sign a volunteer contract with GS NorCal

The first two days our volunteer staff are at camp during the summer session is for on-site training.  Staff often have campers that will be attending camp but can not hang around during training.  That's where our Pre-Camp Staff come in.  They watch all the staff-kid-campers (ages ranging from entering 1st grade through entering 12th grade) while their parents are in training.  When the camp session begins, the staff-kid-campers become part of their regular camp units and our Pre-Camp Staff head home. ​

​We are an all-volunteer staffed summer camp for girls located in the coastal redwoods of the San Francisco Bay Area.  We are affiliated with Girl Scouts of Northern California but staff and campers do not need to already be affiliated with Girl Scouts or part of a troop to attend.

The Camp Butano Creek property is owned and managed by the Girl Scouts of Northern California.  For property inquiries, please click here.
