Girls Day Camp

A Landon Summer treasure for 28 years, Girls Day Camp (GDC) provides a structured and supportive environment that builds self-esteem and fosters lifelong friendships. Mornings are focused on a variety of activities including daily swim, sports, dance, archery, arts & crafts and more. Afternoons are all about Clubs! GDC Clubs give the girls an opportunity to choose their own activities in order to further explore their interests. Clubs change weekly throughout the summer and may include activities such as lacrosse, cooking, jewelry making, and even circus fun! Girls sign up for two clubs of their choice on a weekly basis and participate during the last two periods of each day. Weekly assemblies and spirit days also give the girls opportunities to showcase their creative personality. Campers are grouped by age and friend requests will be accommodated when possible.
