Mission, Vision, & Values
Our mission
Building Strong Girls through faith, endurance, courage, and confidence since 1922
At Camp Jeanne d'Arc we join hands with families worldwide to help every camper find her voice, discover her talents, and realize her value.
Faith
Faith takes many forms—belief in yourself, trust in family and friends, and, for some, a spiritual connection. At Camp Jeanne d’Arc, we create opportunities for campers to explore and grow in all these aspects of faith. Learn more >
Endurance
Our campers develop resilience and perseverance by setting challenging goals and working hard to achieve them—whether it’s joining the sailing club, getting along with cabin mates, or shooting for an archery pin.
Courage
Our campers embrace courage by stepping out of their comfort zone and into new experiences, like water skiing, horseback riding, or building a fire. Our safe and supportive environment empowers our girls to step forward with courage.
Confidence
Our campers build confidence through engaging activities that boost self-worth, such as community service projects, mindfulness practices, and performing in the summer play.
Values shape who we are.
empowering through leadership
We empower every camper to become a confident leader through mentorship, modeling, challenges, and opportunities
play and connection
We value wholesome play and a connection with nature and others
fostering international relationships
We are dedicated to fostering international relationships, connecting young hearts from diverse cultures, nurturing understanding, empathy, and lifelong friendships
Honoring a Historic Legacy in a Global Sisterhood
We celebrate the confidence, strength, and resilience that comes from belonging to a historical global organization of women
Our Outcome
Faith, endurance, courage, and confidence
The qualities of faith, endurance, courage, and confidence were exemplified by Jeanne d’Arc (Joan of Arc) in the 15th century. Our mission today is to empower our campers with these same strengthening characteristics.
