SPENDING THE SUMMER AWAY HAS NEVER BEEN SO AWESOME

It’s a strange feeling to drop your daughter o at summer camp. She’s nervous and she’s excited—so are you. Will she make
friends? Will she have fun? Will she be safe? At Camp Louise, we understand that every girl has di erent hopes, interests
and fears. That’s why we’ve spent the past 90+ summers creating an overnight camping experience that is welcoming to a
diverse community of Jewish youths. One that includes a mix of sports, art, activities and life skills. One where every kid will
be challenged to grow while still enjoying the moment. And one where we lead everyone to Find Your Inner Awesome.
