BRIDGES Camp for Girls is for adolescent girls who would benefit from building: 

Confidence * Awareness * Healthy Body-image & Self-image

It’s not easy being a teenage girl in today’s media-saturated society where girls fear rejection & feel a need for perfection.  BRIDGES Camp provides an opportunity for girls to discover who they are & to learn to love themselves.

Every day of camp, the girls have the opportunity to participate in fun fitness classes:  yoga, pilates, hip hop, & more.  In addition, we offer self-defense training & SHARP (Sexual Harassment and Rape Prevention training)...all led by certified instructors.

 

BRIDGES Camp believes in the value of "experiential learning" (learning by doing) & in relationship-based shared learning (learning from your peers).  This is done through a combination of: (1) fun, interactive large group activities where girls get to know all the other campers and staff, & (2) small, structured support groups called BRIDGES Girls' Circle where 8 girls will meet together with the same 2 enthusiastic, professionally trained adult facilitators a couple times per day throughout the week of camp.

 

Themes covered: 

Building:

 

Respect

   - for ourselves & others, for our bodies 

Relationships

   - building strong friendships, communication skills, conflict resolution

Individuality

   - expressing ourselves, self-acceptance, celebrating diversity

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