FOR GIRLS

About our summer campsSaint Mary’s College knows girls, their interests, and how they learn! It’s our passion. For nearly 175 years, Saint Mary’s has educated young women to develop their talents to make a difference in the world.

We’ve offered camps for girls since 1974. Our summer camps help young women build self-esteem, master new skills, make new friends, and experience the excitement of a college atmosphere.

Campers live in residence halls under the care and protection of counselors, instructors, and professional staff members.

Saint Mary’s faculty and staff, as well as regional educators, provide instruction in campus classrooms, laboratories, studios, and on the courts.

Campers eat in the Noble Family Dining Hall with food prepared by Sodexo, the leading food services management company in North America. Tasty and nutritious options are available at each meal.

Art: Campers will experiment with distinct art forms such as painting, jewelry making, wearable art, paper art, and textiles. Whether sculpting, designing garments, or making friendship bracelets and angel wings, campers bring their own masterpieces to life inside professional art studios.

Creative Writing: Campers learn to express themselves on the page through unique exercises like reporting, writing ad jingles, poetry slams, monologues, or writing a love letter to a favorite food.

Dance: Each dance class has a distinct rhythm as campers develop skills in memory, musicality, and style. Students learn dance history and vocabulary while exploring ballet, jazz, and modern dance. The dance studio is complete with a sound system, mirrors, and a dance floor — an ideal space for students to express themselves through movement.

Music: Classes immerse campers in the basic elements of music. Past participants have created their own musical instruments, performed Broadway musical selections, and made the most of brooms and trash cans in their own version of the exciting musical show Stomp. Campers are invited to bring a musical instrument from home if they wish to share their talents.

Theatre: Character, voice, and movement provide the building blocks for campers to express their dramatic potential and develop performance skills and collaboration techniques through theatre games and group exercises. Classes are held on stage in the historic O’Laughlin Auditorium.

Fashion Camp: Draw, Design, and Sew!

At Fashion Camp, students develop figure drawing and fabric rendering skills and learn to manipulate elements of design to create an aesthetically pleasing garment. In the costume shop campers master a specific decorating technique, such as beading, ruffling, or embroidery and acquire hand and machine sewing skills. At week’s end, they present their designs in a fashion show for family and friends.

Field trips may include visits to The History Museum in South Bend to view the Historic Costume Collection, or to a local boutique to meet with the owner for a Q&A session.

Campers learn the basic principles behind fashion design and construction.

THIS SUMMER CAMP IS NO PASSING FAD!

Forensic science camp On the first full day of camp, students arrive on a staged crime scene to gather evidence, such as fingerprints, footprints, and fiber and hair samples. Campers must answer a single question — who is the suspect? It’s up to them to unfold the mystery using biology, chemistry, mathematics, and deductive reasoning. They weigh the evidence and apply findings in their quest for the culprit.

Students also take a field trip to an actual police crime lab during the week. On the last day, campers share the results of their investigation in a presentation to family and friends!
