Green Cove has a long standing tradition as an adventure camp for girls. There is a strong tradition of wilderness tripping at Green Cove. Ever since our founding, we have felt that spending time in nature is vitally important to a young girl’s education. We offer trips in the following activities: backpacking, rock climbing, horseback riding, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, and mountain biking. 

• Instruction responsibility: teaching kids in your activity, leading trips both on and offsite
• Participation and influence as a member of the camp community
• Pending clearance by our insurance company and driving test, driving 15 passenger vans and gear trailers

Most trips go for one to five days; some are longer. There are trips for all skill levels in each activity. Campers must qualify for a trip – which means they must demonstrate the necessary skills during lessons here at camp. They then sign up for the trips that they wish to go on. New trips are announced almost every day. Age is not a requirement, though it may be a factor in selecting an appropriate trip.

All staff are required to have current CPR and First Aid training. All waterfront staff are required to have Life Guard Training. Trip leaders must have at least a Wilderness First Responder. We provide these courses during our orientation at the beginning of each summer, and may agree to subsidize part of your costs if you get the training elsewhere.
