Welcome

Camp Sojourner, Girls’ Leadership Camp is an exciting leadership development program for Philadelphia girls. We believe that being part of a diverse and caring community, connecting with nature, creating art, and getting to take meaningful leadership roles are essential ways for young women to grow and learn, as people and as leaders.

The first two seasons of our summer sleepaway camp program, Camp Sojourner, were a huge success! Girls got to experience time out of the city at our beautiful mountain site, the New Jersey School of Conservation, participating in activities such as boating, swimming, climbing, archery, teams course, drawing, writing, dancing, drumming, woodworking, and leadership exploration. Check out our pictures in the ‘Program’ section of this website to see for yourself!

Thank you to everyone who has helped us keep Camp Sojourner going despite these challenges economic times. It is vital, now more than ever, that our youth have positive, affordable recreational options and leadership development programming. We look forward to continuing our program during these times, and greatly appreciate all of the time, love, and financial support that people from throughout Philadelphia and around the country have provided to help sustain Camp Sojourner, Girls’ Leadership Camp. Please contact us if you would like to get involved with our program, as a camper, a parent, a volunteer, or a supporter.

We are now gearing up for Camp Sojourner 2010!  Camp dates are from Monday, June 28 through Friday, July 2; staff training begins on Sunday, June 27.  Please see Get Involved on our site to find out how to be part of our program.

Best wishes, and thank you for your interest in our program!
