What is Songa?

Welcome to the unique place that is Songadeewin. We're delighted that you are interested in going to summer camp and pleased that you've decided to have a look at our camp which we affectionately call "Songa."

Songa is a place where you have a great time, learn new skills, achieve independence, and make wonderful friends at a beautiful campsite on Lake Dunmore in Vermont. It is different from any other place you're likely to have been before. At Songadeewin we work to create a special community for girls where you can learn to become "a tall, strong, Songa woman."

One of our campers from our first summer, who returned for five years, recently wrote about Songa in her college essay:

"My special place is where meals are still served family style, where the camp is not specialized, where technology has not taken over, and traditions are [adhered] to above everything else. The experiences I've had at Songadeewin will remain with me forever. It was my place where I could act like a girl but learn how to become a woman. Up at camp you are there to discover who you are and have miles of open water to do just that."
