Camps for girls in Kindergarten – 5th grade. Our programs build strong character, as well as recognize and enhance the strengths of each girl. Girls are encouraged to move at their own pace and set realistic goals. By applauding positive attitudes, effort and improvement, girls feel good about themselves and their accomplishments.

NEW! Spring Break Teenage Girls Leadership / Mentoring Program Register Here
We’ve finally rolled out (and tested) what you’ve been asking for! Your daughter can serve as leader /mentor for the young elementary school girls in our camps.
During her time with us, she will not only learn about leadership (specifics listed below), she will be given opportunities to try out this newly learned information. Your daughter will lead or assist younger girls in games and meaningful dialogue about their experiences. Our hope is to gradually increase your daughter’s responsibilities as the day progresses. Of course we move at their pace, but also try to gently push them to step a little outside of their comfort zone. Of course we will be right by their side to support and applaud them every step of the way!
Your daughter will walk away having learned (and in most cases, tested) the following:
- What key qualities does a leader need to have?
- What makes a good leader? (ie: positive communication, as well as listening and respecting others ideas)
- What is the purpose of a team leader?
- How to be an inspirational and motivational leader?
- How to have more than one team leader?
