Camp GOTR

About Camp GOTR

Camp GOTR provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for girls of all abilities to develop self-confidence and learn life skills they can use now and as they grow. Girls will enjoy building friendships in a fun and inclusive setting that includes interactive lessons, being physically active, and expressing creativity through arts and crafts and storytelling. Led by caring and qualified Girls on the Run coaches, our camp combines the best of the Girls on the Run program with all the fun of camp!

Why It Matters

Girls face social pressures and conflicting messages about how they should act and who they should be. Studies show that by adolescence, girls’ confidence drops about twice as much as boys’. Friendships become more complicated and challenging, girls’ perception of their academic ability declines, the likelihood of anxiety and depression increases and participation in physical activity plummets. It doesn’t have to be this way. We believe that every girl is inherently full of power and potential. By knowing they are the leaders of their lives, these are the girls who will change the world.

What Girls Learn

Specific skills include:

How to make new friends
Identifying characteristics in a good friend
Being a good friend
Resolving conflict
Recognizing emotions in themselves and others.

Format

Teams of 20-40 girls meet for a half-day camp!
