The Girls Lifetime Adventure Camp goes beyond the scope of the day camp program, providing activities and experiences that are enjoyable and tailored to this age group. We aim to empower campers in developmentally appropriate ways by providing them with daily choices based on their interests in both the mornings and the afternoons. These choices will extend into our new Intramural Challenge, where campers will earn points in traditional and non-traditional sports, performance arts, cooking competitions, scavenger hunts, dance, and more. Campers will enjoy opportunities to connect with friends, old and new; tackle new challenges; hone their leadership skills; discover new interests; and develop a clear, confident sense of leadership.

Morning and afternoon choices include soccer, tennis, volleyball, art, the Upper School ropes course, dance, swimming, culinary arts, and more!
