Confidence!

Independence!

Sisterhood!

The single-gender, girl-led, girl-planned environment creates a safe space for girls and young women to thrive. When societal pressures disappear, individuality and creativity flourishes. At camp, self-expression is welcome, creativity is encouraged, self-care is practiced, and self-esteem is boosted.

Through spending time with others who have similar interests and having counselors who respect and challenge them, campers gain a better understanding of themselves and their leadership potential. At camp, they gain both independence and self-confidence. This sisterhood, “the camp family”, cannot be beat; it creates bonds that will last a lifetime.

Whether it’s your first year at camp, or you’re a seasoned camper, everyone is accepted, encouraged, and fully embraced for their uniqueness.

Camp Addisone Boyce

Register yo ur camper girlscoutsh h.o summercam rg/ p

Tomkins Cove, NY

Girls need outdoor experiences, and Camp Addisone Boyce is the place where they can embrace their inner Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker and Leader while exploring, questioning, creating, and discovering everything the outdoors has to offer. Hiking, swimming, campfire cooking, boating, fishing, archery, ropes, and nature lessons are just some of the many activities she’ll experience here.

While making friends and helping plan her own activities, she’ll grow in confidence and independence. She’ll expand her horizons as she tries new things and tackles challenges with optimism and a sense of teamwork.

Optional overnights are scheduled for girls in 4th and 5th grade two-week sessions, and for all 6th-12th grade sessions.

When I was very young I barely spoke to anyone.

I was known as the kid who never smiled... but then I went to camp!

For the first time I tried to make friends and have fun, and I DID. Camp saved my heart and taught me how to sing, how to laugh, how to speak, how to love everything. So each year, I come back to this camp, and I smile. ­— Rainbow, longtime camper, now staff

Rocky Brook Camp Rocky Brook Day Camp is an outdoor adventure in the middle of the city. From the moment you pull into the driveway, you’ll enter a magical world of shady trees, a rolling brook, and an outdoor campfire.

Our strength is our community. Our smaller size means campers get to know not only their own unit, but everyone in camp.

Our forte is our girl-led programming. Every camper has a voice in making day to day decisions, so she’ll grow in confidence, independence, and leadership.

Our specialty is field trips. Every session, all campers take a fun and educational field trip to places such as theaters, museums, and discovery centers. They’ll also go to our sister camp, Rock Hill, for boating, archery, swimming, and other outdoor activities.
