  • Dollar for Dollar Match was a cookie reward for the 2021, 2022 and 2023 cookie sales. These are now expired, but on a case by case basis, if your Girl Scout hasn’t redeemed their reward, GSNorCal will honor it one final summer.  For example, if a girl redeems $50 worth of reward card funds to pay for camp, GSNorCal will contribute an additional $50 toward her balance. Diablo Day Camp will reimburse camper families for their reward card value ($50) plus the match value ($50) for a total of $100.

HOW TO REGISTER

Welcome!  Diablo Day Camp online registration is managed by Regpack — an event registration software.

Start by selecting the REGISTER button in the upper right hand corner of this page to create your family Regpack account.

  •  If you have a grandchild, nibling (niece/nephew) or other familial relationship joining you at camp, please have that family create their own family account.

Welcome Back! This year we are placing volunteers, elves and campers by Lottery.

To start your registration, 

  • Select the REGISTER button in the upper right had corner of this page.
  • Select the Blue Login Button (upper right hand corner of the landing page) to login with the credentials your created last year (or the years before!) 

Diablo Day Camp places volunteers, elves and campers by Lottery.

  • You may start your registration as early as November 15th.
  • Registration will include a Lottery Picks form where you will provide 3 to 7 session alternatives.  Please select only sessions you can attend.
  • All forms (including your Lottery Picks) will remain open until 24 hours prior to each Lottery Draw.
  • We will review your registration and confirm that it is complete.
  • The Lottery will proceed as follows:
    • Staff (and their family) Lottery will begin on January 8th — you will be notified of your placement by January 10th
    • Elf (and their family) Lottery will begin on January 22nd — you will be notified of your placement by January 24th
    • Camper Lottery (first round) will begin on February 5th — you will be notified of your placement by February 7th
    • Camper Lottery (second round) will begin on February 19th — you will be notified of your placement by February 21st
  • Anyone who does not get into a Session will be placed on the waiting lists for each of their choices.
  • Incomplete applications will not be eligible for the Lottery.
  • Once you are notified of your Session placement, you will have 5 days to process your payment (or apply for financial aid), register with Girl Scouts and, for volunteer only, complete your background check and mandated reporter courses.
  • If you have not paid (or applied for financial aid), are not registered with Girl Scouts, or (for volunteers only) complete your background check and mandated reporter courses, you will be removed from the Session and placed at the bottom of the wait list.

There is a button that lets you maintain the camper profile but not register the camper this year. Just click on the “Not attending this year” button when their profile comes up.

Please email Regpack@diablodaycamp.org

Click on the “forgot password” button. We have been notified that this button is not working on all browsers. If you get caught in a “forgot your password loop”, try a different browser or contact Regpack@diablodaycamp.org.

What is a Family Account?
A Family Account is the information we need to contact you as a family.

What is a Camper Profile?
All members in your immediate family who are attending camp will need a Camper Profile including adult volunteers. This profile will contain individual information for each person — volunteer, elf, camper, boy and tag.

Registering Extended Family Members?
DO NOT register your friends, grandchildren, or nieces/ nephews under your family account. The forms must be signed by a parent / legal guardian. The extended family member creates their own family Regpack account and creates camper profiles for their children. During creation of the family account, they will be asked to identify the volunteer they are associated with. Remember, if you drop as a volunteer, each family member registered with you will be dropped.

  • You must process payment within 5 days of receiving your Session Placement notification.
  • ALL PAYMENTS ARE FINAL and NON-TRANSFERABLE.
  • You can pay by credit card or e-Check. If you use e-Check, it will take 5-7 days to complete the payment. If you log back into your account during that time, the system will tell you that you need to pay until the payment is processed. Please ignore those instructions and be patient. You will not lose your placement in camp during this process.
  • Once payment is processed, your Girl Scout registration is complete and any applicable trainings are complete, you will receive a Registration Acceptance notification.
  • If you have not completed the required payment / registration / trainings, you will be moved to the wait list.
  • Questions? Contact the Diablo Day Camp Registrar: registrar@diablodaycamp.org.

Each participant (volunteer / camper / elf) can only attend ONE session.

No.  Family members can attend different session.  However, boys and tags must attend the same session as their adult volunteer.

Diablo Day Camp welcomes girls of all abilities and needs; however, we are limited in the medical and other support we can provide to campers. If you or your camper have special needs and can function with a 1:10 adult to camper ratio in a rural environment, please contact our Camp Administrator to discuss what accommodations can be made for a successful time at camp. Email  administrator@diabloDayCamp.org

Campers in TK are too young to attend. They can attend as tag-a-longs only with an adult volunteer relative.

Campers in Kindergarten through 8th grade at the time of registration are eligible as campers.

  • Girls currently in 7th through 12th grade (at time of registration and even if 18 years old) can apply to be Elves.

Preschool age children (boys and girls) can attend as a tag-a-long with an adult volunteer relative if they are at least 3 years of age and potty trained by the first day of camp.
