Girls enCourage is an Adventure Program that builds girls’ adventure sports skills, fosters their independence, and equips them to be healthy, safe, and active in the outdoors. Girls enCourage is an 8-week program that begins June 1st and will consist of weekly expeditions that will include hiking, rock climbing, a ropes course, and a camping/backpacking trip during the 7th week of camp.
The Girls enCourage program builds from day one. For safety reasons, we are requiring that girls attend 6 of the 8 weeks of the enCourage program (please note that your girl is allowed to miss a maximum of 10 non-consecutive days out of the 8 weeks). In the event of additional absences, we will need to assess if it is safe for her to continue participating in this program.
Throughout each camp, girls will also have a chance to choose from a variety of activities throughout the week, such as field trips, art activities, self-care workshops, cooking, science, and physical activity.
