Girls entering grades 1-3 sleep in a lodge, and girls entering grades 4-12 sleep in either A-frames or platform tents.

A day camp, girls make new friends, hike, play games, sing songs, cook out and make crafts. Beginning horseback riding is offered at all three day camps. One-week sessions run from July 8-August 9.
