Camp GOTR by Girls on the Run provides rising 3rd-5th grade girls in Berks and Schuylkill counties a one-of-a-kind opportunity to develop self-confidence and to learn life skills they can use now and as they grow. Using an intentional curriculum that incorporates small and large group games, physical activity, interactive workshops and individual reflection, girls learn valuable skills to help them build meaningful and positive connections with others.

“Over the years we have heard from girls and families alike that they would love to see Girls on the Run offer a camp program,” says Girls on the Run Berks County Program Director Tania Hollos. “We are thrilled to offer Camp GOTR this summer, an exciting addition to our list of programming options.”

Camp GOTR will be August 1st-5th from 8:30 AM-3:30 PM at Penn State Berks. Led by caring and qualified Girls on the Run coaches, girls will enjoy building friendships in an exciting and inclusive setting that includes interactive games, physical activity, and creative expression through arts and crafts and storytelling.

“Camp GOTR provides a tremendous opportunity for girls who may have not yet experienced the magic of Girls on the Run, as well as an opportunity for girls to continue to enjoy our program beyond the school year,” confirms Hollos.

Registration for Camp GOTR is open now through July 1 at https://www.gotrberks.org/Camp-GOTR. The registration fee includes all Camp GOTR curriculum, Camp GOTR t-shirt, Camp GOTR water bottle, Camp GOTR cinch bag, Camp GOTR bracelet and craft supplies as well as daily lunches and snacks. Financial assistance is available thanks to a United Way of Berks LIVE United grant.
