Summer camp sounds magical—campfires, s'mores, and outdoor adventure—but for many moms and girls, the thought of camp sparks uncertainty and fear. In this episode of the Raising Godly Girls Podcast, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa dive into how parents can help girls face those fears and embrace the transformative power of camp. Whether you're an "indoor cat" or a seasoned outdoor adventurer, this episode offers practical tips and spiritual wisdom to help your daughter step confidently into the camp experience.

Melissa shares insights on the growth and resilience camp can spark, while Rachael explores how fear can be a signal to prepare rather than a reason to avoid new experiences. Hear how AHG empowers families to embrace outdoor adventures through meaningful programming and resources, and be inspired by a special Raising Godly Girls Minute from American Heritage Girls Founder & Executive Director, Patti Garibay, on keeping girls safe at camp while equipping them with discernment and courage.

Scripture offers the ultimate encouragement. Proverbs 2:11 reminds us, "Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you," while 2 Timothy 1:7 calls us to overcome fear with God-given power, love, and self-control. These truths form a foundation for preparing girls to not just survive camp but thrive in faith and fun.

Whether your family is camping rookies or seasoned pros, this conversation will help you see camp as an opportunity for growth, adventure, and resilience-building that lasts long after the tents come down. Join us as we encourage moms and girls to squash fear, embrace adventure, and discover all that God has in store.
