We start by encouraging an understanding of the basic principles of sharing ideas and experiences, trusting and appreciating the unique strengths of each person in the group. Experiential Education Learning by doing is a great way to teach these concepts and skills. But happiness and fun are also the legacy of a program rich in history and memories tied to special events- traditions that are shared and passed on from counselors to campers and from older campers to younger campers. Our Campers Birch Trail accepts 200 campers each session. Geographic diversity is valued at Birch Trail, and our campers come from an average of 45 cities in 30 states, plus international representation.
Campers start camp as early as age eight and continue through age fifteen.
Our counselors truly care about children and have the skills and training to make sure that each girl has a great summer at Birch Trail.

Every cabin has electrical service, bunk beds and shelves, together with a table and chairs.
