General information

Camp Little Notch brings girls of various backgrounds together through activities that break down barriers between people and create a community where girls value themselves and each other. At Camp Little Notch we consciously and deliberately use a variety of tools to create a camp community in which we celebrate diversity, encourage community building, teach conflict resolution and communication skills, facilitate sharing of traditions between people, and confront all forms of discrimination, prejudice, and exclusion in our interactions, operations, and activities. These elements are a part of everything we do and everyone benefits.

We are committed to working in partnership with low-wealth communities, communities of color, and people with varying abilities. We make sure our campers have the incredible opportunity to experience living in an inclusive community that represents the world we are striving to create. Harmony with others.

Many summer camps offer organized sports and structured activities. Camp Little Notch gives girls the freedom to create a self-determined experience. Campers are organized into groups that develop their own schedule with their counselors’ help. This type of freedom encourages creativity, builds decision-making skills, and helps girls take responsibility for their development.

Campers also have the freedom to choose independent activities. Most days include time for camper-chosen elective activities for campers to pursue personal interests. During elective activities campers get to know kids from other groups in camp; learning from each other and creating bonds within the camp community. Harmony with self. Harmony with others.

Living together at camp helps us develop an ongoing appreciation and interest in the land. We promote consciousness about the Earth and our role as stewards. Campers learn to live in harmony with nature through a variety of daily practices and opportunities for exploration and discovery. Little Notch campers practice sustainable, low-impact living and bring these practices back to their everyday lives. Harmony with nature.
