about our camp

Diamond Crest Girl Scout Day Camp is (traditionally) an all-volunteer-run day camp and is held at a San Mateo County park. Our camp has been in operation for many years and is rich in traditions and  has welcomed girls for several generations.

We offer one session each  year. All applicants are welcome and are admitted by the criteria listed  in our Admissions Policy. Our campers travel to camp each day by buses leaving from local schools, churches, and community buildings in the Belmont, Redwood Shores, and San Carlos area. We offer an overnight  experience of 1-2 nights for campers entering grades 4-10. Campers  entering grades 1-7 are grouped in units with girls their own age/grade  and are supervised by trained staff members and program aides. Campers participate in a wide variety of activities including earning badges, hiking, outdoor cooking, learning outdoor skills, crafts, games, singing, and more. 7th grade campers participate in the “Aides-in-Training” (AIT) program and may assist unit leaders as Aides when entering grades 8-10.
