A Nice Day Five

As we take a moment to remember our fifth camp day, we’re pleased with the girls’ development; today consisted of a morning of team activities focusing on respecting and honoring diversity which is an especially honored subject at our multicultural all girls camp that we run here at Kupugani. The afternoon consisted of camptivities, with the girls either choosing a more adventurous activity such as a challenge hike or canoeing or choosing a more relaxing option such as chill time, where they used the time to reflect on how much […]

A Good First Day of Camptivities

Today, we enjoyed a full regular day camp schedule. With time now to reflect on the day past, where we began to facilitate fun interactive activities such as inter-galactic conference –all with the ultimate goal of building confidence and trust within each other. We also facilitate these particular activities to build confidence within each individual girl with the ultimate goal of personal empowerment. The girls also had a full afternoon camptivity schedule, to either try an activity like archery or pushing their challenge comfort zone with an activity like crate […]

Superb First Day of Camptivities!

This morning, the girls woke to tables full of various egg dishes and an assortment of cereals. The muffins and cinnamon rolls also served as a great energy source for the very exciting day ahead. The camptivities have started, which engender trust and confidence within the group. These camptivities help the girls to gain confidence in themselves and build a sense of empowerment. After everyone swarmed La Tienda (the camp store) yesterday, it ran smoothly today and already the Snickers ice cream has emerged as the favorite. Time to go […]

Night Under the Stars

Some refreshing morning clouds came through, helping to cool things off a bit, before powering up again for a warm afternoon of fun! We kicked today off with some team building activities, with the afternoon bringing camptivities such as hiking, canoeing, pool, Zumba, and giant-Jenga! The evening activity included a spirited game of Rainbow Tag.Tonight is also NUTS (Night Under the Stars) and it will be nice to have a one-on-one with nature. It’s certainly not boring here at Camp Kupugani, where the girls continue to be empowered!

Fantastic Friday – July 26, 2019

Blue skies and a fresh breeze, after some welcomed cooling rain today. After waking up to this morning, we loved the breakfast including sausages and French Toast and juice. Energized for the day, the campers moved on to their team activities on a day focusing on positive self-image (and no mirrors!). The LITs visited some seniors at a local senior center with the seniors enjoying the girls’ conversations and songs! This afternoon had camptivities including pool, crate stacking, aerobics, mud volleyball, and shrinky dinks in arts and crafts! Another great […]

Camp Rocks!

A healthy breakfast of farm fresh eggs, Natasha’s delicious coffee cake, and fruit to kick off the day has everyone ready for another great day! We are beginning the day with team activities, moving towards some fun camptivities river floating, canoeing and four-square this afternoon. We are ready to rumble!!

Gooood Morning

Skies are blue, and our flowers are blooming too! This morning’s team activities featured the “assertiveness activity” and “I-Statements” so that communication gets even better! Some rain from yesterday has helped camp get greener. Looking forward to some afternoon camptivities including dance, softball, river walking, and chill time. Fun fun fun!

What an Amazing Day!

What an amazing day! The great 85-degree day kept everyone’s spirits high. We had great fun fishing, doing archery, doing improv acting games, and chilling in the forest. Providing a nice end to another great day, after an awesome meal of spaghetti bolognese, the girls enjoyed an evening activity doing the “dot game” and diversity show and tell. Ending the night, they had a beautiful campfire. Good night all!

Exciting First Day!!

It’s a new dawn, a new day and we’re feeling good! We had some refreshing, revitalizing rain to make camp feel green and more natural. There is excitement at camp on the first full day of the session. The forest is filled with the sound of singing birds. Looking forward to an epic day of camptivities including biking through the forest, canoeing down the river, river walking and games in the pool. It’s gonna be a day of fun-filled activities!

Spring in the Air, and Empowerment on the Way!

Now that the grass is greening, the birds are returning, and the smells of spring are in the air, it gets more and more exciting to prepare for camp. It’s really magic contemplating what will happen this summer. What child will experience the first-time joy of doing something she didn’t think she otherwise could do…from the “I can’t” to the “I did!”. And carrying that over to her life—whether it’s 5 days, 5 months, or 5 years forward, when another “impossible” task arises, and she has the confidence to attack […]
