Why Our Camp is UNIQUE!
Why Our Camp is UNIQUE!
At GirlSing, we create a soulful environment that nurtures creative, self expression through group activities, singing, song/lyric writing and empowering individual and collaborative art activities. We sing songs with positive, empowering messages and give girls an opportunity to explore the songs and lyrics they love and "why" through song-synergy, lyric-listening and metaphor-simile exercises. In the spirit of self empowerment, GirlSing camp includes songs that point to the true nature of their inner beauty with related songwriting activities and self expressive art projects. The songs we sing* (rounds, part songs, chants plus more-contemporary songs in a variety of genres) each have a soulful and empowering message.
The Songs We Sing Encourage:
1) Inner Strength
2) Self Discovery
3) Group Cooperation
4) Individual Growth
5) Social Awareness and
6) Gratitude.
*Examples songs include Brave, I Am So Thankful, Please Don't Try to Fix Me, and I Am a Tower of Strength to name a few.
Indoor & Outdoor Singing, Games, Fun & Field Trips!
In addition to singing indoors, we also spend time singing, journaling and writing lyrics in nature (e.g., along sourdough creek). When the spirit moves us, we bring smiles to people's faces when the girls share a spontaneous, joyful song while out and about. It's important to note that singing in front of and for people is always a "choice." The GirlSing camp emphasizes the joyful gift of sharing a song and a beautiful message with others and isn't focused on "performing" or "perfection."
