Girls Week 2023: Friendship Camp
SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE
This week is a time of shared fun, kindness, and supportive new friendships among all ages. Each day we will build stick houses on the Pocumtuck Ridge, play games, sing and hear stories as well as learn how to talk things out. A choice of workshops will include art, dance, hikes, writing, and story-building. Overall we’ll make sure everyone feels included so there is a solid feeling of belonging and social safety. We’ll remember how to talk to the earth.

Sliding Scale Honor System
Journey Camp fees offer a sliding scale. The bottom of the scale is where our subsidized fees begin. In other words, every family paying at the bottom of the scale is receiving a self-chosen scholarship because the amount doesn’t cover our expenses in running the session.
Questions?
Do you want to speak to a parent to ask questions? Parents on the Advisory Council are available to talk to you.
