WHAT DO CAMPER UNITS LOOK LIKE?:
River Ranch Added Programming: We are planning again to add additional and special programming with River Ranch's amazing trained staff this summer. All River Ranch Programming is TBD.
- The camp day runs Monday through Friday for campers in grades K-6 at River Ranch Girl Scout Camp for one week each summer.
- The day is filled with a wide range of activities, with a strong emphasis on outdoor skills: fire building, knife safety, knots & lashing, outdoor cooking, first-aid, and wilderness skills. While making new friends and challenging themselves in new ways, campers will also sing songs, create amazing crafts, and more!
- River Ranch Girl Scout Camp is at 33300 NE 32nd St, Carnation, WA 98014. It is approximately a 35-minute drive from the Woodinville Safeway to the River Ranch Cedars parking lot. The preferred River Ranch entrance is located behind Remlinger Farms. We host camp in a portion of River Ranch that includes Cedars, Hidden Forest, Pebbles, and the Meadow.
- Each camp registration fee includes a camp t-shirt, patch, daily snacks, special programming, and more!
- *We are a 'separate' volunteer led day camp that hosts our camp at River Ranch Camp Property, which is run by Girl Scouts of Western Washington (GSWW). We are a part of GSWW, but not part of the River Ranch Resident Overnight Camp Program.
