Program

Camp Sojourner
Camp Sojourner is an overnight camp for girls ages 8-14, with 15-17 year old girls working as junior counselors. Our camp program focuses on team building, leadership development, self-expression through creative arts, and appreciation of the natural environment.

Camp Sojourner 2012 dates are from Monday, July 30 through Saturday, August 4.

Our summer program is located in the Pocono Mountains at the New Jersey School of Conservation, about two and a half hours away from Philadelphia (www.csam.montclair.edu/njsoc). Buses take girls up to the camp at the beginning of the session and bring them home at the end of the session.

Activities at camp include: swimming, boating, hiking, team-building, campfires, archery, and creative arts such as singing, dancing, drawing, painting, drumming, acting, sewing, and wood-working. We eat family style in a large dining hall, and sleep in modern wood cabins.

Teen Leadership We believe that in order for young people to grow as leaders, they must be given authentic opportunities to act as leaders.

That is why GLC includes youth as a core part of our Advisory Board, and gives teen leaders the opportunity to participate in decision-making and plan camp activities.

Service We believe that being a leader means both taking charge of your own life and working to make the world a better place. Each year our campers choose an area of focus and complete service projects related to those areas. The past two years have focused on gun violence and global warming. This year our campers will work in partnership with Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR) and the Clean Air Council in order to design and complete service projects.
