How do you deal with allergies and food issues?

What is this camp’s specialty?
We focus on learning experiences that inspire young girls to design an empowered sense of their self. We are not a mental health camp.

What about mental health issues?
We do not specialize in mental health issues. If the camper is currently in treatment or taking medication, please advise us on your medical background form. Many psychological conditions are manageable, but for the safety of the camper, it is important for the staff to know about all mental and physical issues.
