Our Mission

Circle Camps provides free summer camp for girls who have experienced the death of a parent. Through multi-year programming, Circle Camps prepares campers for adulthood.

Diversity Statement

The Circle Camps Board of Directors respects and values the diversity of all of its campers, volunteers, and Board members.

The Board of Directors defines diversity as individuality, which includes a wide spectrum of attributes such as personal style, age, race, gender, ethnic heritage, sexual orientation/identity, language, physical ability, religious affiliation, family, citizenship status, socio-economic circumstances, education, political affiliation, and life experience.

A diverse Board of Directors creates an inclusive environment in which a full range of ideas and information are exchanged, leading to fuller and richer Board decisions that best serve the needs of Circle’s campers.

Circle Camps shall not discriminate in any of its programs or services on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity and expression, except that:

  • Campers have experienced the death of a parent

  • Campers are mature enough to be away from home for one week
