Life at Camp
One Week, Awesome Fun!
Art + Math = Fun
Campers do daily arts and crafts projects that integrate a variety of math skills into the projects. What comes home may look like a fun craft, but behind the pretty picture is plenty of math!
Building Community
Girls Rock Math campers collaborate, share ideas, listen, and build friendships over the course of the week. Community building activities are part of every day at camp and help contribute to increased self-esteem and self-image.
Small Groups
Campers are placed into small groups with a dedicated counselor. This allows campers to get more attention and support during math activities. Our experienced teachers lead and oversee the whole camp class while the counselor works closely with her campers specifically, getting to know them well and help them grow.
Active, Playful Math Experiences
We make math fun! Many of our math activities are done outside, involve real-world problem-solving, partner activities, and projects. We make math meaningful and engaging!
Fun and Games
Our campers learn through play! Math games are incorporated into every day of camp and bring so much joy into learning. Who said math isn’t fun?
Learning Never Stops
With all the fun happening, you may wonder when do the campers do math? All day! Activities, games and projects will have campers measuring, finding area and perimeter, doing computation, graphing, probability, geometry, and a lot more. Math concepts, skills, and practice are integrated into arts and exciting themes so that math happens throughout the day.
It’s play time!
Our campers get lots of recess and time outside. Their brains are working hard, so they should get to play hard too!
Social Emotional Learning
The Circle Up is a special time of day when small groups meet with their counselor. Topics focus on a variety of social emotional skills that change weekly. Campers may discuss friendship and inclusion, growth mindset, kindness, bravery, speaking up, celebrating individuality, appreciating one another, leadership and collaboration. Each week also includes an introduction to STEM and STEM careers.
Empowering Mentors
Our staff members are superheroes! They inspire, support and guide campers throughout the week with the focus of making sure every camper feels like she is included and valued at camp. They focus on finding the positive strengths in each camper, celebrating them, and helping each girl grow.
Camp Spirit
From Silly Socks to Rainbow Day, and everything in between, we love to show our camp spirit every Friday! On Fridays we have a big end-of-the week celebration where we thank and appreciate one another and the staff, and everyone gets a pin for their years at camp.
Water Play
Our weekly water play day is always a blast! Campers splash, spray, and play wet and wild games each Friday afternoon. On days when the weather means campers can’t play outside they participate in an epic camp-themed scavenger hunt!
Teen Leadership
Our Teen Leadership participants support and mentor campers and gain important life skills throughout the week. Daily meetings include games, reflection, and leadership activities such as goal setting and providing feedback to one another. Our Teen Leaders work directly with campers but also as a team as they plan and coordinate fun activities for campers such as the Friday Fun festivities.
Girls R.O.C.K Leadership Camp
Our program for Middle Schoolers empowers 7th and 8th graders to take a Leadership role at camp. Along with daily projects and a program designed to help middle schools collaborate, grow and build their leadership skills, our Leadership Campers (aka Counselors in Training) support and work with our primary campers throughout the week. Leadership Campers help plan activities, lead games, and also get to join in the fun of being at camp as they make art and do math right alongside the kids!
