Girls in the Know Transition Camp

Transitions Camp is a one-week, half-day camp for girls transitioning from 5th to 6th grade. This camp provides an opportunity for parents to empower their daughters with the emotional and physical tools and behavior models that will help them meet the challenges of middle school and their tween/teen years. Transitions camp provides a safe place for them to discuss and explore the issues on their minds. Plus, they have an opportunity to meet new girls that will be entering 6th grade with them at the middle school.

During the four-hour camp each day, girls will participate in fitness activities, including yoga, Zumba and Pilates, boost their creativity in art, and share their hopes and fears through group discussions and team-building activities. Campers can enjoy an open environment that allows them to explore the issues of peer pressure, friendships and self-acceptance without fear or judgment.

In addition, for the first time, GITK will offer a Transition Camp for teens entering high school. The camps overlap during the lunch hour, providing a peer mentoring opportunity in which incoming middle schoolers can ask recent graduates for tips on piloting the junior high hallways. Together, girls can encourage one another to be proud of their identities and be better prepared for the road ahead.

Transition Camp, which is $175 per girl for the week, will be held at Ladue Chapel, 9450 Clayton Road. The sixth grade camp is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the ninth grade camp is from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. all four days. To register your daughter for this life-changing event, visit
