Summer Camp GOTR

The ultimate summer experience for girls ages 8–11, combining the empowering mission of Girls on the Run with nonstop fun and adventure at The St. James.

 

In a supportive, inclusive setting, girls build self-confidence, embrace body positivity, and strengthen friendships through engaging lessons, creativity, and physical activity. From arts & crafts and storytelling to field games, rock climbing, and splashing through the indoor waterpark, every day is a new opportunity to grow, connect, and shine.
