ABOUT WEST END HOUSE GIRLS CAMP

West End House Girls Camp (WEHGC) is an overnight summer camp for girls ages 7-15, located in Southern Maine. Founded in 2011 as a nonprofit, The WEHGC experience is intentionally small, progressively multi-cultural, and 100% camper focused. The mission of WEHGC is to positively influence the lives of the girls by providing them with skills, support, and opportunities needed to grow into healthy, productive, and responsible women. West End is home to 194 girls each season, many of whom would not have the chance to experience camp due to financial limitations.
