Elf Program

Home Page


Elves are Diablo Day Camp helpers.  They must be girls at least 13 years old or entering 8th grade or higher.

The Elves are an important part of Diablo Day Camp.  The Elf Program teaches the girls to be responsible young adults.  The Elves work closely with the Unit Leaders to deliver the day camp program to the campers.  They learn to work well with campers, adults and each other.  The campers look up to them as role models.

Most elves at Twin Canyon in Lafayette work in pairs in units helping campers build and start fires, prep and cook lunch.  Elves lead girls from activity to activity.  Some Twin Canyon elves help in core program areas such as crafts, nature and archery, or assist in the hive.

Elves at Little Hills Ranch in San Ramon will work in groups of two or three in program areas such as crafts, sports, games and nature.  Some elves will be assigned to units helping lead campers from activity to activity.

All elves are required to attend and pass training.  NO EXCEPTIONS.  If you are unable to attend the training, please do not apply to be an elf.  You may apply to attend day camp as a camper.

Elf fee is $35.  Non-Girl Scouts add $10.  Non-Girl Scouts will become registered girl scouts upon acceptance into camp.

All elf registrations must be postmarked by March 1, 2008.  No late registrations accepted.  Elves of adult volunteers receive priority.

Elves work one session only.  All elves must mark their session choice on the registration form.  Elves will be placed in the same session as other family members.  To request an exception to this, attach a note to your registration form.

Please make carpool arrangements after session placement is complete.  Elves arrange their own transportation to and from camp.
