Celebrating the Success of

Wellfit Adventure Camp '23

Wellfit Adventure Camp 2023 was an incredible experience!

We hope your camper remembers the adventures, the friendships made, and the skills they learned. We hope that the bonds they formed will last a lifetime and when they look back on challenges they overcame, we hope they see resilience and strength within themselves. Our ultimate hope is that each camper left feeling more empowered and confident than before.

Thank you again to all of the campers who made this year's Wellfit Girls Adventure Camp such a success. We can't wait to see them again next year for another unforgettable experience.

HEY, campers going into 9th grade!

We hope to see you for our high school program, Summit Sisters!

Summit Sisters is a transformative experience that combines outdoor adventure with personal growth. Summit Sisters meets twice a week and culminates with a life-changing backpacking expedition. Throughout the program, participants will be challenged to step out of their comfort zone, participate in activities & discussions that promote wellbeing and have a meaningful experience that will stay with them for a lifetime. Join us for Summit Sisters and embark on a journey of personal growth and self-discovery. Check out the newsletter featuring highlights from our 2023 program HERE

A HUGE thank you to our facilitators and mentors!

As a nonprofit employing 2, the support from previous program participants is not only vital to the success of our programs but also a testament to the past success of our programs. Each year, girls from previous programs apply to come back to further their Wellfit experience and to build their leadership skills as mentors and facilitators.
