Our first Ever Spring Break Camp

The Active Girls-Healthy Girls (AGHG) 2024 Spring Break Camp was held in March 2024, an all-female camp for 4th-6th grade girls. For two days during spring break, 50 elementary-aged girls tried new physical activities and games in a welcoming, empowering environment at UNC Greensboro. 

They were part of the inaugural Active Girls-Healthy Girls Spring Break Camp, which was held by UNCG’s Center for Women’s Health and Wellness with the School of Health and Human Sciences. The camp was generously sponsored by the Dawn S. Chaney Foundation, enabling the camp to be free for the fourth through sixth grade girls who attended. 

The all-female camp was led by female faculty, alumni, students, and instructors, enabling the campers to feel confident in the activities they participated in. This included pickleball, volleyball, yoga, basketball, dance, and yard games, among other activities.

The camp focused on the unique needs and cultures of the community. Girls had the opportunity to explore the joys and benefits of various forms of physical activity. Below, you will find the 2024 sample schedule of the two days of our camp.
