What makes Athena Camps Different?

Unlike traditional camps that focus on just one domain, Athena’s unique combination:

  • Breaks down the “either/or” mentality that often limits girls’ participation
  • Uses sports to build physical confidence and teamwork skills
  • Leverages art projects to foster creativity and self-expression
  • Connects all activities to girl-powered themes that build character and confidence

Safe Sitter

Our Safe Sitter Course is designed for girls grades 6-8 to be safe when they are home alone, watching younger siblings, or babysitting. In these courses, students learn to practice safety skills, handle emergencies, care for children, and treat illnesses or injuries. Some classes include CPR training. Additionally, students develop business skills such as screening jobs, setting wages, and working with employers.

Strong Sisters

Our youngest athletes build coordination, agility, and teamwork through playful drills and small-sided games. Coaches focus on confidence first—celebrating effort, cheering on teammates, and learning the joy of movement. Perfect for beginners or girls who just love running, passing, and scoring big smiles.

Yoga & Tennis

A balanced week of dynamic movement and mindful practice.
Tennis focuses on stroke development, footwork, and strategy while encouraging girls to challenge themselves in a supportive environment.
Yoga develops strength, flexibility, stress management, and mental clarity—helping girls build confidence beyond the court.

Self Defense & Volleyball

This empowering combination helps girls strengthen both their bodies and their confidence.
Volleyball builds communication, teamwork, serving, bumping, and setting fundamentals through upbeat drills and games. Self-Defense teaches awareness, boundary-setting, and practical skills to help girls feel prepared and self-assured in everyday situations.
