A Parent Reflects on the Unique Resilience Developed at Camp
We’re in that fantastic—yet overwhelming—part of the year where school is winding down, and our kids are getting increasingly anxious for summer to start. There’s both a blossoming hysteria emerging with each warm day, and a growing ennui about dragging themselves out of bed each morning, contrasting but equally strong impulses.
Embracing Imperfection: How Challenges at Camp Help Girls Grow
Summer camp is often portrayed as a magical place where everything is fun, friendships are instant, and every moment feels like a highlight reel. While it’s true that camp is filled with joy, connection, and unforgettable memories, it’s important to remember that perfection isn’t the goal—growth is. At Camp Alleghany, our mission is to help girls grow personally, and that means embracing the bumps in the road as part of the journey. Life isn’t always smooth, and neither is camp—but that’s exactly what makes it such a transformative experience.
