And because the experience is girl-led, with hands-on activities in which girls team up and work together, they achieve a strong sense of self, develop positive values, seeks challenges, have healthy relationships and solve problems in their communities. The experience objective is to prepare every girl for a lifetime of leadership.

Physical, outdoor challenges, such as those offered by gshpa, play an enormous role in boosting girls' self-confidence and leadership skills. Gshpa provides weekend, as well as one- and two- week long camping experiences for girls.
