The camp setting is a small community unlike any other. The unfamiliar setting, new people and shortened time together help girls make friends and bond. As a girl makes choices and directs projects, her leadership instincts progress. She learns to get along with others and becomes self-reliant without parents there to save the day. Ready to let her find her way? GSSWT offers a variety of flexible options to get her there! (Scholarships available!)

Are you prepared to have a blast at Survivor 2013?

Do you think you're prepared to help yourself and your family in the event of a natural disaster? Subject matter experts will inform and train you in disaster preparedness and survival techniques as you are challenged to prepare, improvise, build shelters, cook your own food, sterilize water, learn wilderness first aid and how to defend and protect yourself. You will be part of a team and participate in many challenges. You will be taught to survive!

Survivor is open to girls entering grades 6-12, costs $250/girl and runs from 2 p.m. Saturday, July 13 to 2 p.m. Saturday, July 20 at Camp Mira Sol. Get more details here.
