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
