Purpose of the camp
St. Norbert College is very pleased to offer an enrichment experience for young girls. As the mother of four daughters, I am very aware of the challenges and pressures that girls face today. This summer camp is designed to positively impact the participants by building confidence and leadership skills, fostering positive body image, and setting high-reaching goals.
It will transform their lives, instilling a can-do spirit and confidence that will stay with them as they mature into young women prepared to make good choices.

The camp is comprised of three sessions:
|
The primary focus of the camp will occur in the core sessions. Girls will identify positive role models and learn what it takes to be leaders. They will spend time looking at positive and negative self-images and how these affect their confidence and self-esteem. The girls will also be encouraged to find positive ways to express who they are and the values that they hold.
|
|
The focus of the fitness session is for girls to learn appreciation for their bodies and to make good, healthy choices every day. Activities include Zumba, yoga, hula-hooping and Pilates.
|
|
Girls Excelling in Math and Science (GEMS) is a new session for all girls attending camp. During this session girls will do experiments that apply science and math to their everyday lives.
