Empowerment, Collaboration, Fun, Confidence - The Adirondack Experience for Girls

Happy Internaional Women’s Day! The 2025 theme is For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment. At Adirondack Camp, we believe in the power of summer camp to transform lives. For the young girls and teens aged 7-16 in your life, ADK provides more than just an escape from the everyday—it’s a place where they can grow, thrive, and discover their true potential.

Today’s world presents unique challenges for young and teen girls. The pressure to “fit in,” unequal treatment, unrealistic beauty standards, peer pressure, bullying, and the constant presence of social media can be overwhelming. More than ever, girls need a space where they can step away from these external influences and embrace who they truly are.

At ADK, we offer a supportive, nurturing environment where girls can unplug, take risks, and build the confidence that will serve them for a lifetime. Whether they’re conquering a climbing wall, paddling across the lake, leading their team during Blue/White, or simply making new friends, every experience at camp reinforces their ability to trust themselves, take on challenges, and grow as individuals.

Our staff plays a vital role in shaping this experience. Adirondack Camp is a community, a family, and a place where mentorship thrives. Our talented counselors and instructors serve as role models, creating an atmosphere of encouragement, teamwork, and personal growth. They empower campers to try new things, support one another, and develop resilience in a fun and adventurous setting.

Through our robust and diverse programming, campers are exposed to activities that foster leadership, independence, and creativity. Whether they’re navigating Lake George in a sail boat, sculpting a masterpiece in ceramics, or learning new outdoor skills on a trip, they are continuously developing the confidence and self-awareness needed to navigate life’s challenges with strength and grace.

At ADK, we don’t just teach skills—we cultivate a mindset of self-respect, empowerment, equality, and adventure. Girls leave camp not only with lifelong memories and friendships but also with a renewed sense of confidence and the knowledge that they are capable of achieving great things.

Give the young girls in your life the gift of empowerment, collaboration, fun, and confidence. Let them experience the magic of Adirondack Camp—where they can truly dare to be themselves.
