The week of GEMS camp is jam-packed with guest speakers, teambuilding activities, community service, and discussions about real-world problems. Girls take time for self-reflection at the beginning and end of the week as they answer questions about their ideas about leadership, service and personal growth. We also ask parents to fill out a questionnaire every year and use this data to assess strengths of the program, as well as places the program can grow. Below is a sampling of testimonials from campers and families.
