Camp is a place where you unleash yourinner G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk Taker, Leader)™and discover that you can accomplish anything - why limit that to just the summer! Our trained and caring staff members support girls ages 5-17 in discovering who they are and who 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.
