Camp & Club Ella
Designed to empower and support young girls, providing a nurturing space for growth, self-discovery, and community engagement. Through a variety of hands-on activities, workshops, and mentorship, we help girls develop leadership skills, build confidence, and prepare for the future.
Camp Ella is a vibrant, summer camp experience designed for girls entering middle school. It’s a place where fun, adventure, and personal growth come together. Campers engage in outdoor activities, team-building exercises, arts and crafts, and leadership workshops, all aimed at building confidence, resilience, and friendship.
Through hands-on activities and guided mentorship, girls explore new interests, develop valuable skills, and create lasting memories in a safe, supportive environment. Camp Ella provides the perfect setting for young girls to discover their strengths, challenge themselves, and prepare for the next chapter in their journey.
​
Club Ella is our year-round program that keeps girls engaged through a blend of social, educational, and personal development opportunities. Club members participate in a range of activities such as arts and crafts, leadership training, and community service, all aimed at strengthening their self-awareness and sense of belonging.
Together, Camp & Club Ella creates a supportive environment that nurtures the growth of young girls, helping them build the foundation they need for a successful and empowered future.
​
First grade through middle school girls may be referred by social workers, caregivers, or any caring adult.

A few of the Ella experiences:
​

Character Development through Reading Literacy
Reading is the foundation of all learning. Many children in foster care fall behind in reading, writing, and social-emotional development. To address this, our program pairs children with mentors for reading sessions that build both literacy and confidence.
The curriculum focuses on character development and dramatic play, helping children grow emotionally and socially. At the end of each session, they visit their "little library house" to choose age-appropriate books to take home, encouraging continued learning and growth.
