“It is becoming increasingly rare to be truly unplugged. In a world where answers are at our fingertips and everything gives us instant gratification, being at camp is the kind of challenge that growing minds need. Girls are challenged to learn new things, grow in their independence, improve social skills and develop lifelong memories.”
