Visit their websiteWho are you as an organization?
Ouareau focuses on creating a positive community in an environment where mistakes & efforts are celebrated. Campers build self-confidence, self-reliance, communication & problem-solving skills. Our linguistic program with its cultural exchange aspect gives French & English campers opportunities to improve their second language. All activities are selected individually.
What do you do differently or uniquely well?
"Camp Ouareau is proud to offer a program that focuses on building independence and second language skills. The language program is uniquely suited to our powerful community, encouraging campers to build their language skills as part of their everyday life. Celebrating mistakes, encouraging friendships and helping others are just a few ways campers are motivated to simply try. By giving campers opportunities to choose their own activities, live independently and navigate different social situations at meals, activities and cabin groups, they learn to make decisions and advocate for themselves, try new things, and take responsibilities."

Jaqui Raill, director of Camp Ouareau, says that at camp girls “can talk about pressures, body image, appropriate role models, and nutrition with healthy young women [camp staff] who are active, eat well and not obsessed with their bodies.” While the offering are varied and broad, for many girls, if not most, that’s the benefit of camp: living, growing with others into a set of shared values around who they are and what they want to be. “It’s such a pressured life girls lead— university, school—[here] they can let themselves go because there isn’t that extra pressure of the opposite gender.” All decisions at Camp Ouareau are made with the girls in mind, including the all-female staff trained to help girls explore sensitive issues in healthy, beneficial ways. Camp Ouareau’s staff and alumni are inspirations to young campers who can look up to friends that become environmentalists, doctors, teachers, and spend their time volunteering and giving back to the world. As a staff member since 1975, Raill says that “the reason I’m still here and have the same passion I had when I arrived, is that so many of these girls leave camp with so much more knowing of themselves, so much more confidence, even if it’s just for one session.” If girls need a reason to go, that’s it.
