Summer at GPS

She’ll Love Her Journey at Summer Camp

Each day at GPS Summer Camp is unique, designed for your daughter to learn, play, laugh, and meet new friends. From yoga to robotics, musical theater to basketball, GPS Summer Camp will help your girl discover more about who she is and who she wants to be. Whether she spends a week or two or the entire summer with us, we are ready to provide her an unforgettable experience.

From the moment your camper arrives on campus (to the sounds of music and cheers from her counselors, of course!), she will know she’s in the right place—a welcoming environment full of adventure and F-U-N! While she’s playing getting-to-know-you games with her campmates, you can rest assured that her time spent learning new things, touring the town, dancing, and swimming (to name a few!) will leave her joyful … and probably a little tired! Fueled by delicious snacks and lunches, our campers enjoy a busy day before heading home with huge smiles and full hearts, ready for another day of fun.

#SisterhoodAtSummerCamp

Of course fun is on the docket at GPS Summer Camp, but what sets us apart are the relationships formed between campers and counselors. Our counselors, many of whom attended GPS Summer Camp as kids themselves, are invested in your daughter’s development during her time on campus. As current GPS students and alumnae, they appreciate the value of girl-to-girl connections and work to provide big-sister moments all summer long. So many of our counselors return year after year and see their campers grow up!

Scheduling Made Easy!

We know schedules can be challenging to navigate at times, so we make it simple to plan your daughter’s camp adventures. We offer both half-day and full-day camps, as well as before- and aftercare options, to give you flexibility as you plan your summer.

"GPS Camps & Clinics are a staple in our community because they provide a safe and supportive environment for girls to try new things, hone skills, play, and have fun! While here, girls are championed by amazing staff, complete with current students and alumnae who want campers to experience the magic of GPS. As a parent, you can trust your daughter will find new friends, gain confidence, and feel loved every minute she’s on campus.

As Director, I love watching campers grow throughout the summer. Seeing them reach milestones like learning how to do a cartwheel or even simply sharing with me that they made slime fills my heart with joy and gratitude. It is an honor to be known as the ‘Camp Lady’ throughout town!”

—Sarah Whitney Anderson ’12, Director of Camps + Clinics

We know you have options for summer activities, but only at GPS will you find girl-focused camps specially designed for all-day adventure. Half-day camps can be enjoyed by themselves or combined with other camp offerings for an all-day experience.
