Girls can explore organic gardening through our green program, as well as many other healthy habits. Campers grow their own vegetables in a real greenhouse! These skills translate into the ability to grow veggies anywhere and definitely promote the idea behind the value of a healthy diet, as well as the importance of agriculture, and sustainable food. Here, we also provide knowledge of how to safely prepare food, and our campers can take home fun recipes to share with family and friends! Aside from growing and cooking food; when campers take part in The Green Department they are given the opportunity to care for some cute animals. They learn the importance of keeping animals happy and healthy, as well as have some fun getting to know the uniqueness of different species.
Girls who take part in Adventure and Discovery can experience the excitement of mountain biking! With courses that vary by skill level, even the most novice bikers can hone their skills, and discover personal growth. By getting active, this is surely a proven reason why summer camp is more important than ever before. Instead of taking it easy this summer, sharpen decision-making skills, reflexes, and promote healthful practices. Fun games, trips, and skill-building exercises are part of this program.
