Camp GOTR is a high-energy, confidence-building experience designed to help girls strengthen emotional resilience, friendships, and self-confidence through movement and meaningful connection.
Perfect for spring break, winter break, summer programs, and community enrichment opportunities, Camp GOTR is a 5-day program that meets approximately 4 hours per day and is designed for girls in grades 3–8.
Unlike a traditional sports camp, Camp GOTR blends physical activity with evidence-based social and emotional learning in a way that is fun, engaging, and deeply impactful. Each day includes interactive lessons, movement activities, games, workouts, creative expression, team-building, and opportunities for personal reflection and discussion.
Camp themes may include:
• Friendship and healthy relationships
Girls explore what it means to choose healthy friendships, recognize friendship “boosters” and “breakers,” communicate effectively, and practice standing up for themselves and others.
• Emotions and emotional resilience
Girls learn that all emotions are normal and important. Through activities focused on emotional awareness, breathing techniques, movement, and “pressing pause,” girls build practical tools for managing stress, frustration, anxiety, and other big feelings.
• Confidence and self-worth
Girls identify their strengths, practice positive self-talk, and learn how healthy confidence grows through courage, perseverance, kindness, and trying hard things.
• Balance and well-being
Girls reflect on the different parts of their lives — emotions, relationships, activities, physical health, and personal interests — and explore ways to create balance and care for themselves holistically.
Throughout the week, physical movement is intentionally woven into every lesson. Girls participate in running games, interval workouts, stretching, team challenges, and active play that reinforce the day’s emotional and social themes. The goal is not competition, but helping girls connect movement with confidence, emotional health, and joy.
Camp GOTR creates a safe and encouraging environment where girls are seen, heard, celebrated, and challenged to grow. Participants leave camp with new friendships, stronger coping skills, increased confidence, and practical tools they can use long after camp ends.
