Girls' camps

When they are in a girls only camp, girls are focused in important ways. For example, at some specialty camps such as dance camp or a girls sports camp, they can target building the skills they need without being distracted by some embarrassment or self-consciousness. Girls will also engage freely in conversations they might not otherwise have. No matter the focus of the camp, girls are almost certain to learn things they would not otherwise learn, in a summer camp environment (as well as other camps like winter, holiday, and March break camps).

At a girls' camp, your young woman will take on responsibilities and learn to act in ways that they might not otherwise consider or indulge. There is a wide variety of camps available - and girls of all ages benefit from the exclusive company they have with each other.

Finding the right camp for your daughter

Focus on a list of camps that meet basic requirements like location and activities available (e.g. musical theatre, etc.) But as you consider camps, some important questions pertaining to girls are:

• What are some specific activities that will help my daughter thrive, develop her interests and develop self-confidence?
• What are the qualifications of the camp's counsellors? How long have they been in business? What is their track record in helping young women grow?
• Are there activities that especially help girls compete in the future job market (such as STEM, technology camps, or others).
