This is not your ordinary summer camp.

Camp Birchwood a place where girls are embraced with love and support as they engage their whole selves in fun, meaningful activities in the Great Outdoors. The tremendous kind of “know-how” that girls gain at Birchwood ignites their self-esteem and fuels their confidence.

Come Into Your Own

With kindness and respect as the hallmarks for daily life, Birchwood campers are steeped in a rich community and encouraged to be their truest, most authentic selves.

Welcome to your “home away from home”.

At Birchwood, campers get comfortable, fast.

The very first day is filled to the brim with amazing outdoor activities. Our activity instructors individually welcome every child to the group, and connections quickly start to form. Girls learn each other’s names and find things in common. Smiles spread. Heads nod. Shoulders relax.

Before you know it, fits of giggles erupt, and that quintessential Birchwood magic starts to happen.

Birchwood girls are active, soulful participants in their own lives. They are immersed in a kind of memory-making that simply can’t happen back at home or in school. Nah, this is special.

Yep, once you’re part of the Birchwood “web” of friendship, you’re tied to people who care about the REAL you, throughout your life.

Happy Campers

“At Camp Birchwood you can be yourself - you don’t have wear makeup or cool clothes. You can blurt out camp songs even if you’re off key and wear pajamas to breakfast. Every year I come home changed. Birchwood has really shaped who I am as a person today.

— Emily O. // Camper

“Camp Birchwood is truly the golden standard when it comes to summer camps. The most unbelievable part was to witness how much my children matured over the two weeks.”

— Therese M. // Parent
