Active Girls – Healthy Girls (AGHG) Camp
Ultimately, the Active Girls – Healthy Girls initiative aims to show the joy, confidence, and health that can coincide with movement and healthy habits. Our camp provides a culminating experience for girls to experience and learn ways to lead active, healthy lifestyles. We hope you’ll stay connected and start moving with us!
AGHG Camp Mission to Empower Girls
- Create a safe, welcoming space for girls to try new physical activities they might not know about, feel unsure about, or don’t have access to.
- Cultivate small group talks about important health topics like the benefits of exercise, how to manage anxiety, and making healthy food choices, while addressing challenges girls face in staying active.
- Dream big and realize their potential as they partake in the camp at UNCG facilities and hear inspiring stories from students and athletes.
- “Take it out of the camp.” Ultimately, we hope girls will take all they have learned at the camp into their lives so they can lead active lives through activities they enjoy and share what they have learned with others.
2025 Spring Break Camp
The 2025 AGHG Spring Break Camp will take place the week of April 14th, during Guilford County School’s Spring Break. Our Spring Break Camp aims to provide girls with a safe and exciting environment to try new activities and learn ways to overcome possible barriers to physical activity. We are already planning new activities and talk topics to make this year’s camp even better than the last. Stay tuned for more information!
