Volunteering is Easy!
Why should you volunteer at Rainbow Adventure Day Camp?
- One camper fee discount for registration for your camper.
- Tagalong unit for pre-K children and boys to 5th grade of volunteers
- For troop leaders, day camp is a great place to get new program ideas, learn new skills, and work with a different group of girls, or different grade-level of girls.
- For moms of early-elementary campers, you can get to know our fabulous Program Aides and gain insights into the middle school and high school experience.
- It’s rewarding to watch the campers gain confidence by trying new things, making new friends, and building on traditions.
- IT’S FUN!! Our Summer Camp offers a wide range of outdoor activities for kids to enjoy, including hiking, swimming, canoeing, and more. Our experienced staff will ensure that your child has a fun and safe time in the great outdoors.
How can I help?
Volunteer positions are available for supervising the units while Program Aides are leading activities, as well as planning and managing positions with camp. We also have a health supervisor that requires a short online training provided by GSWW.
Usually girls are not placed in the same unit as a volunteer from their family, so that each girl and parent can go home telling their own amazing stories.
GSWW is also a non-profit that is eligible for corporate volunteer hour matching and donations.
Requirements
All positions require a background check (valid for two years) and a valid 2025-2026 membership in Girl Scouts of Western Washington. The annual membership fee ensures that you are covered by the Girl Scout liability insurance when you are volunteering at camp and includes a background check if you need it.
Before camp, we will have an online training and a couple in-person meetings to provide the information and guidance that is the foundation of a great camp experience for everyone. These are mandatory meetings to ensure we have everyone prepared for camp and we get an early connection with our Program Aides.

May 30, 9:30 - noon: Adult/PA training together at a location in Kirkland
