Using the metamorphosis of a butterfly as an analogy for a girl's development from childhood to womanhood, Camp Butterfly introduces the importance of defining a mission in the lives of young.
Designed with the girl of African descent in mind, this action packed, invigorating week introduces the concept of the Butterfly as a symbol for transformation and emphasizes self-awareness, self-acceptance, and responsibility as tools for change.
After the girls have completed the "sleep-away" portion of Camp Butterfly, they are ready to continue their transformation through our Fall Program. (In some cases, girls begin the Program in the Fall, and attend camp afterwards. Both ways yield transformation in the participants.) The program utilizes the culturally sensitive Risk-Reduction Education curriculum, "If the Caterpillar Only Knew..." (created by the organization, Project Butterfly.)
"Camp Butterfly needs your help to continue to provide its comprehensive services. Whether you choose to help by volunteering, or by making a donation, it will be greatly appreciated by all of us - staff, stakeholders, and most importantly the young women and girls we serve."
