Summer Program

Gwen's Girls realizes that summer time brings many hours of unstructured activity. Although summer is a time for relaxation and fun, at Gwen's Girls summer camp is also a time for empowering girls through gender-specific programs, education and experiences.

The curriculum for our eight-week summer camp, Camp Destiny, is developed around a theme which addresses the ten life domains. Previous themes included Health & Wellness…from a Cross Cultural Perspective which focused on a variety of health and wellness workshops, including a variety of fun, healthy activities; Civic and Cultural Awareness which provided an opportunity to advance the principles regarding leadership and culture through enrichment experiences that promoted active learning and community service.

And, of course, what would a summer camp be without the usual summer favorites? Our field trips include: swimming, taking in a Pirates game, trips to Kennywood, Sandcastle Water Park, Laurel Caverns, Idlewild Park, Wildwood, Funfest Entertainment World, Gateway Clipper Tour, and Hershey Park. Last year's overnight excursion is a sight-seeing trip to New York City which includes tickets to the Broadway show, The Color Purple.
