Casti Camp is all-day, all-girl fun! Girls who come here experience the true meaning of summer, with dedicated time and space for play, creativity, exploration, and discovery. For many new campers, this is their first camp experience, and we immediately see them develop confidence as they settle into making decisions for themselves and building new friendships. For returning campers, we notice them stand a little taller and smile a little wider the moment they arrive. Casti Camp is a wonderful combination of cherished tradition and exciting activities, creating a world that is both relevant and inspiring for girls today. Our camp is available to rising 2nd-6th graders, and we offer a vibrant Counselor-in-Leadership-Training (CiLT) program to rising 7th-9th graders. These older mentors offer valuable and lasting lessons in leadership to our younger campers.
Girls Rule! Our campers have a wide range of camp activities from which to choose, and we empower them to select the activities that spark their interest and encourage growth. The choices are wide and varied and are designed by our counselors to inspire creativity, risk-taking, relationship-building, and responsibility. The camp day balances independence, as each camper follows her unique schedule of activities and reflection, with time spent in small counselor-led groups to give a consistent place to start and end each day. Attending camp for two-week sessions, campers also enjoy special activities on Fridays, including camper showcases, and all-camp carnivals.
Casti Camp is located at Castilleja School in Palo Alto, and our facilities include gymnasiums, art rooms, a swimming pool, classrooms, a stage, a field, and more! A delicious lunch and snack is provided every day. Extended Day Care is also available.
