At the heart of our mission is the belief that every young girl deserves a place where they are free to grow, connect and belong. Campers return home after camp with stories of adventure, new skills learned and a sense of self-confidence that sets them up for a strong and fulfilling future.

The American Camp Association (ACA) is the only nationwide organization that accredits children’s camps. The ACA accreditation process is a voluntary camp commitment to the highest standards of health, safety and program quality. Each camp is thoroughly reviewed and approved by our Camp Project Board. Qualified camps include YMCA, Girl Scouts and other well-known, respected camps.

Real Stories About Camping4Girls Campers

Camping4Girls Camper and member
quotes icon

I was chosen to go to camp when I was younger, and I just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for this experience. I’m 36 now and have kids of my own, but I remember very vividly the shopping trip, the cheerful ladies who accompanied me and made me feel so cared for. The camp itself was so much fun, and I have never got to experience this even after, I thank you so much! To this day, I am still friends with a girl I met at this camp…this experience was one that I still tell my kids about. I’m so glad programs like this exist, I know it is a highlight of my childhood and the girls I know who had the privilege to attend. Thanks!
