Girls Camp Adventures         Pre-teen Girls Summer Camps

Lil' Alpengirls of today are tomorrows future!

Are you an Alpengirl? Find out at this introductory Washington girls overnight summer adventure camp session for pre-teen girls, it's for girls age 11 who want to adventure outdoors. The perfect introduction to Alpengirl, you'll experience what it means to be an Alpengirl while tent camping and exploring the beaches and rainforests of Olympic National Park. You won't need any experience at all to join us, we'll teach you everything you'll need to know in order to enjoy the experience so much that you'll be begging to join us next year on a longer session in Washington or Montana.

What will it be like? Everything we do during these seven days is exactly like our other sessions: wilderness hiking, camping in tents with 2 or 3 other girls or on a tarp under the stars, campfires on the beach, tide pooling, healthy "camp gourmet" cooking, rainforest backpacking, Leader of the Day, morning yoga, 9:15 group games, leave no trace practices, road-side dance parties and Alpenolympics. All of this and more in playful Alpengirl style! 7-days will breeze by as you make new friends and are showered with attention by your 2 Alpenguides. See the itinerary for this session for a day-to-day camp description.

How will I get there? Don't worry about getting here, this session will give parents an excuse to vacation here! Parents may like to travel with you and will meet the Alpenguides and other Lil' Alpengirls at the Airport on the first day. Parents can then tour on their own to enjoy biking on the San Juan Islands, sailing in Port Townsend, hiking in Olympic National Park or afternoon tea at the Butchart Gardens in Victoria B.C.!

How do I sign up? There are only 10 spaces available, so, call or email Alissa, the Camp Director/Founder, to make sure there is still space available and to make sure it's a good fit for you. Then, go to our "register" page to register with basic information and read about details of registration and make a $600 deposit.

The best thing about this trip - besides the fact that All Alpengirl trips ROCK is... "It's just for girls your age and it's a quick camp that allows you to try adventure camping to see how you like it before committing to a longer camp."

Lil' Alpengirl Parent Reviews - Testimonials

"My daughter Emma went to Alpengirl at age 11. She is almost 17 and still talking about it. I found the staff of Alpengirl to be extremely personable, responsible and authentic. We live in Texas and I sent Emma all the way to Washington to do the camp and she didn't even know anyone. She loved it and grew confident in her relational and camping skills as well. Now Emma would like to be a leader of the camps one day. My other daughter Grace, 13 next month, went to Alpengirl in Montana last summer. Another gold medal experience!! She still wears her Alpengirl shirt at least once a week to school! Alissa and crew are irreplaceable!" ~ Julie (Texas)

"We have nothing but "RAVE" reviews of the Lil' Alpengirl Camp! For 11-year olds, one week in Washington was perfect. My daughter could have easily done another week (in hindsight) but anticipating a 2-week camp in the beginning may have kept her form signing up in the first place. She had a BLAST! Knowing that she could be away from us for a week and do fine and have such great fun with people she didn't know, that was all I could have asked for and more!" ~ Erica (Seattle, Washington)
