Tripping
What makes Songadeewin different from most other summer camps for girls?
Tripping!
Tripping is central to Songadeewin. We believe that girls benefit from the first-hand encounter with nature and learn significant lessons from working and traveling together in a small, cohe-sive group. Each month you are at camp you get to go on a canoeing or hiking trip. Our young-est campers go on a four-day trip to an area close to camp.
As you grow older, you will go on longer trips that travel further from our base camp in Vermont. Trips are a big challenge...and lots of fun!
Here's what some of our older campers have to say about tripping:
"As you get older on trips you learn to cook your own food. It gets hard and you think you can't do it. Then you realize you can."
"At the end of the trip I felt that I had really done something. All of the mountains we had summited; I really accomplished something."
"It wasn't the 'roughing it' of this trip that proves its worthiness but the atmosphere. We were competing with no one, we shared a common goal."
