Girls Summer Program offers unique programming for 4th-8th graders
Girls Summer Program focuses on cultivating curiosity, building community, and empowering girls to express themselves authentically through art, STEAM, and sports activities. Note: All 6th grade groups are for students who will attend JMSG in the fall 2025.
Each session of camp is one week and will have a variety of activities. Every day the girls will engage in activities that are planned by faculty and designed to serve all learning styles. The community time between activities is led by Julia Morgan School for Girls students and alums who volunteer to be teaching assistants in the summer. A significant number of campers return each year, and many ultimately apply to Julia Morgan School for Girls for the academic school year. Girls Summer Program is the perfect way to experience the magic of an all-girls environment and our confidence-building culture during the summer.
"Girls Summer Camp has really fun themes and a mindset for young girls. By the end of the week, the girls have fallen in love with the school."

The goal of the camp is to expose students to basketball in a setting that makes them feel comfortable and eager to learn more.
Create art, tell stories, and express your personality! Drawing inspiration from Greek mythology, we will make art that expresses our sorrows and hopes.
