    Overview

    Culver Summer Girls School is part of a six-week leadership development program for campers ages 14 to 17. While the boys are required to choose a specific area of concentration, the girls have no such requirement. Girls are encouraged to sign up for the same sailing, horsemanship or aviation classes, but they can also choose to build a class schedule that does not involve any of these three Culver areas of excellence. 

    Culver seamlessly combines the charm of a traditional summer camp with unique opportunities across its expansive campus, which boasts a 94-horse equestrian center, a 120-boat sailing fleet, and an aviation school. At Culver, campers are empowered to develop self-confidence and independence while learning the value of self-discipline. They also learn to advocate for themselves, navigate challenges with resilience, and celebrate their achievements, all while growing through diversity.

    Our summer experience is technology-free, fostering an environment where campers can build authentic relationships with peers from around the world. This setting allows young people to discover pure joy and the excitement of a summer like no other.

    Upper Camp is a six-week leadership program for ages 14-17, utilizing a military structure to instill followership and leadership. It includes the Culver Summer Naval School, Horsemanship, Aviation, and Girls School, with a mix of classes, activities, and social time.

    Musicians are welcome to participate in the Concert Band and/or Jazz Band and can even become performing members of the Naval Band.

    The Deck 7 unit was created for girls who wish to focus on horsemanship. The idea is for Deck 7 to become "the Girls' Troop" – the girls will be privileged to perform as a mounted unit during Garrison Parades while simultaneously serving in the unit leadership positions.
