Camp Butterfly's mission is to provide a safe haven for girls of African descent to transform and empower their lives through our one-week sleep away camp experience and our year-round activities. Thus positively impacting the future of our families, communities and the world as we strive to transform the world, one girl at a time.
| "We hope to foster a dedication to service and emotional healing as we prepare our girls to participate in a global village. |
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 female adolescents, particularly as mission relates to moral and civic development along with positive cultural and feminine identity.
