Who We Are
Camp Marimeta is more than a camp, it’s a feeling! Some may call it spirit, passion or even belonging; at Marimeta we believe this is what sets us apart from the rest. Since 1947, Camp Marimeta for Girls has been providing exceptional traditional overnight camping for young women. Marimeta strives to create a supportive and nurturing community of girls to help them grow into independent, confident and capable women so they can become leaders to go out into the world and help create strong communities. At Marimeta, girls can disconnect from technology and connect with their peers. We teach girls to communicate with each other, be empowered, take responsibility for their actions, grow from mistakes, become self-sufficient, and learn to problem solve. It is equally important at Marimeta to be silly, get creative, be ourselves and have carefree fun in such a special environment!
