girls summer camps can become quite an arduous job to research and find the right camp for your child or teenager. Picking the right camp for each camper's personal needs is the key to finding a perfect match for you child's summer. We have visited camps throughout The United States and Europe and are confident that we will be able to find the best match for your child's interests between the ages of 7 - 17.
Girls Summer Camps
The goal of many of the
Girls summer programs that we recommend is to involve the Girls in a variety of sports, arts and crafts, theatre, dance and other activities while they make new friends.
Grouping Children:
- Children are placed in bunks according to their age & grade.
- Friends can be placed together in most camps. It is not always advisable to place friends together but can be arranged.
- Campers are placed in groups by their ability level for lessons in tennis, golf, swim, and other non-team sports.
Length of camp
- Trial week for younger first time campers.
- Camp sessions run from 2 weeks to full summer.
- There are camps that have 2 separate 4 week sessions, each with a new group of campers.
Skills and Activities for Campers

Land Sports: Tennis, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Horseback Riding, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Golf and more.

The camps we recommend have low counselor to camper ratio's
Camper to counselor ratio is important and we find the best Girls summer camp programs have a ratio around 4:1. This allows for individual attention as well as skill development. The counselors are college students with experience in the activity they lead, and they are supervised by experienced adult teachers and parents.

The programs we recommend provide safety and supervision
Counselors are with campers all the time. Counselors are college students with expertise in the activities that they teach. Group heads and supervisors staff are all adults with many years of experience in teaching children and caring for campers. They are involved with the campers 24 hours a day. Owners and directors are on the campus and involved with campers and staff the entire summer.
Medical Conditions and Food Allergies
The camps that we refer all have doctors and nurses and are available 24 hours a day and staff the infirmary / wellness center. Children who need to take medication on a consistent basis for any reason will see the nurse and doctor for their medication at a prescribed time. Children with food allergies will be
accommodated at most camps. The parents will discuss their needs with the chef and the camp nutritionist/dietician to plan the best way to handle the child's needs. Children who are sick and need to be watched and cared for will stay overnight in the infirmary and the parents are notified. Children who are sick and need to take medication will have their parents notified and consulted with.
Safety is very important to the owners and directors of Girls summer camp programs. All camps strive to keep their camp equipment in good condition to protect the Girls.
Girls Only Camp Locations
The largest amounts of Girls camps are concentrated in the Northeast Region of the United States. However camps are located in all parts of the country. Not all states have a selection of
sleepaway camp. There are camps in Europe as well, but they differ in form from camps in the United States.
