Mission and Program Overview

Mission

As it has since its first session in 1969, the main idea continues to provide girls ages 9 through 14 with a comprehensive, residential camping experience that includes land sports, water sports, horseback riding, climbing wall, dance, art, drama, and overnight camping activities. Through the challenges of learning a new sport, of spending a night under the stars, of group living in bunks, and of working together to achieve a common goal, girls learn self-reliance as well as patience and tolerance for others. Overall, the skills acquired at main idea enable girls to believe in themselves and contribute to their making positive choices that provide them with opportunities for lifelong growth.
