When a girl leaves home and enters the world of camp, she meets new friends and peers on even ground. As she sits around the campfire, rides a horse, tries archery, or even rock climbs for the first time, something in her begins to change— she gains a sense of pride by facing her fears, she grows as a person by learning new skills, and becomes stronger and happier by making new friends. She comes home with a spring in her step and a new light in her eyes. Camp is transformative. Our trained and caring staff members support girls ages 5–17 in discovering who they are and what they can become. Our engaging programs and activities are designed with girls’ interests in mind, so they can grow their passions and take healthy risks in a safe, supportive environment. OUR CAMPERS... Develop leadership skills through our girl-led programming, with supportive staff by their side Discover a sense of self by participating in activities that build confidence Overcome obstacles by challenging themselves to try activi- ties they’ve never done before Learn resilience, practice grit, and gain a deep appreciation of the great outdoors Cultivate important life skills by interacting with fellow campers and problem-solving with a team Relax and unplug from the everyday while making lifelong friends Not a Girl Scout?
