Typical Day at Camp
At the beginning of each session counselors will discuss what kind of activities girls would like to do throughout the week. Counselors will then take the ideas of all the campers and put them together for a great program! Campers are encouraged to make new friends while at camp, so a buddy system is employed at all times.

Sleeping Quarters
Our camps have excellent sleeping quarters that allow campers to be close to nature but still have many comforts of home. Campers live in units that consist of 4-10 of sleeping quarters placed close to each other. Units have between 15 and 30 campers. Girls are placed in units with campers from the same program and age level. Counselors sleep in separate quarters near the girls. Bathrooms are in all units.
