Girls’ Getaways: Summer 6-day
Celebrate girlhood with a one-of-a-kind island adventure
Reconnect with yourself, nature, and your peers
Let’s be honest. This summer, reconnecting with ourselves, each other, and nature is more important than ever before. Girls’ Getaways is a relaxed, warm introduction to the world of summer overnight camps for youth who identify as girls. Led by an all-female staff, this experience is designed to help young women get away from the distractions and anxieties of daily life, build self-confidence and resilience, and have a safe space to bond with those who share a similar lived experience.
Together, we’ll explore Vancouver Island, including Victoria and the Juan De Fuca Trail, by biking, hiking, and paddleboarding. Girls’ Getaways also include workshops and mentorship with a special focus on relationship building, social-emotional well-being, positive personal image, and women leadership.

Oh, the places we’ll go
Victoria: Nestled between the tranquil waters of the Salish Sea and the ancient rainforests of Vancouver Island, Victoria is full of surprises. From quirky boutiques to mighty parliament buildings, Indigenous art galleries to urban farms, there’s lots to see and do in British Columbia’s picturesque capital city!
The Juan de Fuca Trail: This famous trail winds through a spectacular mix of old-growth rainforest, biodiverse tidal pools, and both sandy and rocky beaches. Amidst panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the Juan de Fuca trail is the perfect place to develop a feeling for backpacking and hiking. The whole trail is an epic, multi-day challenge, so we’ll stick to the first section and leave the rest for future exploration.
