Leadership Camps For Girls & Young Women

Who said leadership has to be studied in a classroom? These fun workshops and camps teach leadership in a hands-on way. Whether you’re looking for a summer activity close to home or far away, one of these programs may be just what you’re looking for. Many of them have year-round programs, too.

Taking Leadership to the Outdoors. Camping is a great way for girls to explore leadership, build skills, and develop a deep appreciation for nature. Whether they go for a day, week, or longer, Girl Scout camp gives girls an opportunity to grow, explore, and have fun under the guidance of caring, trained adults. Every girl deserves a chance to camp! And if girls love the outdoors, make sure they check out the Girl Scout It’s Your Planet—Love It! Journey series.

    1. Hi L.J,

      Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, no we don’t know of any leadership camps that fit your requirements. We did know of some specific programs in the past but haven’t been in touch with them recently enough in order to recommend them. Good luck with your search!

      Sincerely,
      GRG
