    Overview

    At Firefly Song, youth develop an appreciation of their strength, competence, and creativity. They explore the fullness of their identity, redefine failure, and build on success.  They learn new skills while they gain lasting friendships, self-awareness and resolve. Our Vermont summer camp for girls and non-binary youth aims to inspire personal growth in campers while provoking curiosity, fierceness and an action-oriented attitude. 

    Campers learn outdoor living skills including knot tying, knife and ax safety, plant and animal identification, and navigation. Extended overnight nature trips and waterfront activities include camping skills, canoeing, swimming, hiking, or rock climbing. Farming and gardening activities teach land stewardship. Campers help with building projects including cabins, benches, and bird houses. Pottery, fiber arts, painting, singing, and drama add to the magic of camp.
