Raising Godly Girls

Ep. 188 — How Camp Builds Resilient Girls


Listen Later

Life throws many challenges at our daughters and equipping them to face those challenges with strength and faith is a key part of raising Godly girls. In today’s episode of Raising Godly Girls, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa dive into the incredible growth and transformation that can come through a camp experience. Camp isn’t just about roasting marshmallows and singing around the fire (though, who doesn’t love that?)—it's a place where girls step out of their comfort zones, develop lifelong friendships, and grow stronger inside and out. 

Rachael and Melissa share personal stories of “gritty” camp moments, from collapsing tents to unexpected wildlife encounters, demonstrating how these challenges build resilience. Drawing inspiration from Joshua 1:9, they explore how camp can teach girls to be "strong and courageous," trusting God as they navigate new and sometimes difficult experiences. 

In this conversation, they also highlight the beautiful life lessons camp provides, such as learning leadership, teamwork, and the joy of pushing past fears to discover new strengths. With thoughtful insights, practical advice, and American Heritage Girls-specific anecdotes, this episode celebrates the spiritual and emotional growth that happens when girls experience the great outdoors. 

Whether you're considering sending your daughter to camp for the first time or reminiscing about your own childhood camp memories, this episode will encourage you to see camp as a place where faith, friendship, and resilience are nurtured. Join us as we explore how these experiences shape our girls into the strong, confident, and God-honoring women they were created to be.
