This session offers young girls the opportunity to safely challenge themselves within a nurturing environment while learning wilderness and leadership skills. The program includes in-camp activities combined with wilderness travel. Boating, hiking, wilderness living, and leadership skills are at the heart of this program. Each three-week session participant will have the opportunity to carve out and decorate her own wooden canoe paddle, hike on the neighboring trails, become a competent boater, develop strong leadership skills, and learn to work successfully in a small group. Each small group will go on an overnight hiking trip in the first week of their stay at camp as well as a 7-day canoe trip near the end of their session. Our leaders will work closely with the girls to ensure that they are ready, competent, and eager to continue exploring the woods and waters of the Debsconeag region.
