We offer both vegan and omnivore options and healthy snacks are available throughout the day.
LUNCHTIME PERFORMANCES
Every day a different band plays a live set for the girls and then sticks around to take questions. In our end of program survey this was a major highlight for the girls. They learned about different genres of music and had a fun time listening to the bands and getting to engage in meaningful discussions with the visiting artists.
FINAL SHOWCASE
At the end of the session, all campers show off their original work at the Final Showcase for the whole camp community!
