With four teenagers at home, life is busy and full of adventure. From paddleboarding and concerts to volunteering and pool days, my kids keep me active and having fun. But with just a few summers left before they leave home, I’m more aware than ever of how fast time goes.

In college, I studied the impact of female role models on middle and high school girls. I saw firsthand how powerful non-parental influences can be. Teachers and youth leaders shaped who I am today, and I want to help provide that kind of support to girls navigating the tough middle school years.

That’s why I started Girl Camp—a space for girls to build healthy friendships, gain confidence, and have fun while moms are working. I grew up going to summer camp, and it had a lasting impact on me through connection, nature, and new friendships.

For the last 20 years, I’ve photographed high school seniors and families. The most meaningful part was helping teens feel relaxed, seen, and special. That same spirit is at the heart of Girl Camp.

My goal is to create a space where girls feel confident, supported, and inspired—and I’m so excited to make that happen.

We have spent months hand picking instructors that will give your girls the best education, motivation and love for the week they are here. A full list of our instructors is HERE.

1. Healthy Eating- Learning skills in the kitchen, how to chop, make an easy meal, a smoothie, how to make healthy snacks and lunches. Shopping, planning, and creating a healthy relationship with food.

2. Move your Body- Each day will be a new way to move your body. Whether it is Zumba, silent disco, pilates, stretching, strength training, or a nature walk.

3. Healthy mind- Teaching skills like journaling, meditation, tapping, mindfulness, and breathing. They will get to experience a sound bath, yoga and how to connect with nature.

4. Life Skills- We have curated some incredible instructors to teach classes like financial success, how to make friends, how to make solve conflict, and how to sew a button. Creating a safe space in your room, how to care for a houseplant, and how to interview for a job. So many valuable skills.

5. Creative- Love art, being creative, and cannot wait to inspire these young ladies. From tie-dye, pressed flowers, painting, and photography, the week will be jam-packed.

At Girl Camp, one of our biggest concerns is your girl’s safety. That is why every instructor on staff will have a background check and there will be at least one person on staff per day that is certified in CPR and First Aid.
