About Camp

Our Adventure Camp Philosophy

Alpengirl; an outdoor summer camp for girls, endeavors to influence the world just one girl at a time. To open her eyes, exercise her inquisitive mind, and develop her physical strength. Alpengirl's unparalleled programs foster growth through a philosophy of mind-body connection that promotes "Fitness Through Adventure". Each camper is encouraged to confidently embrace challenge and to comfortably excel at being herself. Alpengirl imparts these ideals through the trials and excitement of adventure activities and with the emotional nourishment of the natural environment.

Unique Girls Camp Program

Alpengirl is unique in bridging the gap between close-to-home residential kids summer camps and challenge-based co-ed travel camps for older teens.

Adventure is our main objective and fitness is an integral part of our adventures.

Our program goal is to realize the positive lifetime effects of good eating, exercise, wilderness, and friendship.

Morning yoga, lots of really good wholesome food, daily adventure sports, 9:15 p.m. group entertainment, Leave No Trace wilderness living, outdoor education, and leadership development are methods of meeting our program goal.

We operate in a way that is comfortable for teen girls. Our focus is on ENJOYMENT of each activity in order to promote a lifetime of adventure in each camper.

Activities are introduced at a beginner level with capacity for additional challenges and increased fitness. Self-reliance, initiative, group cohesion, and positivism are daily objectives.

Alpengirl is not a "troubled teen camp", "boot camp", nor "fat camp".
