    Payment:
    • Camp fees must be paid in full at the time of registration. Campers may not attend camp without full payment.

  • + Can boys come to camp at GPS?

    Boys are welcome to attend a collection of our camps. Refer to camp descriptions for clarification. If your son has interest in additional camp offerings, we encourage you to explore the options at McCallie School. For more information, visit mccalliesummercamps.com.
  • + Who leads camps at GPS?

    Most of our camps are led by GPS faculty and coaches who have years of experience teaching and coaching girls. Carefully curated experts are also brought on campus to enrich our offerings in certain areas, such as for our Safe Sitter Camps. And key to your daughter’s time at camp is the interaction and mentorship she’ll receive from her counselors—GPS students who appreciate the value of girl-to-girl connections and provide big-sister moments all summer long.
