The reality is being a teenage girl is not easy in today’s media-saturated image-based society, where girls fear rejection & feel a need for perfection.  It doesn't have to be that way.  BRIDGES Camp provides an opportunity for girls to discover who they are and learn to love themselves.

Be a part of something special - an enlightening, self-esteem building summer camp experience where girls will learn how to deal with life as a teenage girl and become empowered to find themselves and their passions!!

At camp, girls can participate in fun fitness classes such as, yoga, Pilates, hip hop, Zumba, and kick-boxing.  Girls love our Challenge Course and Self-Defense training!  All courses are led by certified instructors.

BRIDGES Camp believes in the value of experiential learning (learning by doing) and in relationship-based shared learning (learning from your peers).  This is done through a combination of fun, interactive, large group activities where girls get to know all the other campers and staff, as well as in small, structured support groups called BRIDGES Girls' Circle, which is 5-7 girls meeting together with the same 2 enthusiastic, professionally trained adult facilitators a couple times per day throughout the week of camp.

Themes covered include: 

Respect - for ourselves and others; for our bodies 

Relationships - building strong friendships, communication skills, conflict resolution

Individuality - expressing ourselves, self-acceptance, celebrating diversity

Dignity - building healthy self-esteem, self-talk, body-image

Goals - emotional purpose, finding passions, not letting obstacles get in the way

Empowerment - assertiveness, making healthy relationship decisions

Selflessness - learning appreciation & giving back; pay-it-forward projects  

We encourage girls to find their true, authentic selves, to identify their own beauty and that of others, and to understand we are all worthy.
