4. Message
The camp is meant to teach girls to respect themselves and to present themselves in a way that conveys a good message
Shows girls how to dress stylishly and somewhat modestly at the same time

5. Influence on me
While being a counselor at this camp was exhausting at times, it really showed me leadership and how to be a good role model for younger girls. I formed relationships with these girls and got them to open up to me. At the end of the week, I gave each girl an award and spoke about each girl individually in front of all the girls’ parents. I also talked about my experience and about why I felt this movement was so important.
