We are looking for exceptional, fun-loving adults to staff our camp. To become a Butano Creek counselor/staff person you must be at least 18 years old or have gone through our CIT program, and like children and the out-of-doors. We will train and provide all the information you need to become an effective camp counselor.

Children of staff receive a discount on their campers' fees.

Additionally, a Tag unit is available for a reduced fee for children of staff, including boys entering 1st through 7th grades and girls entering 1st through 3rd grade.  Tags must be entering first grade in the Fall to be eligible. The staff child discount does not apply to Tags as their fees are already discounted.

Requirements for staffing: 
  • Age 18 or older (or have completed Voyager Training)
  • Attendance at mandatory Weekend Training (see dates here)
  • Current adult Girl Scout registration and background screening
  • Current Health form, signed by physician
  • Arrive at camp two days prior to start of camp session (staff children may come early too)
  • Remain on-site for the entire session
  • Additional training may be required for specific roles, i.e. cook, nurse, archery, and backpacking
Note:  Cooks / Dining Hall, Directors and Nurses arrive Wednesday evening of pre-camp.

Mandatory Trainings:
See the calendar page for specific dates & locations.
  • New Staff Orientation is held for any new staff members in May.  It is held locally in the tri-valley area.
  • Weekend Training is required for all full-session staff members.  It is held during a weekend in June.
  • Pre-Camp training is when all staff and their children arrive at  camp two days early.

Cost:
There is NO fee for adult staff volunteers to attend camp, but there are a few incidental fees required by GS NorCal:
  • Girl Scout USA registration fee
  • Girl Scouts of Northern California member role of Camp Crew at Butano Creek which triggers annual background screening (must be completed yearly)
  • Annual physical and signed health form by your doctor
Please note, if you are a GSNorCal volunteer, you should have already paid these fees.
