Safe Girls Strong Girls is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that holds a week long summer camp for survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

Our camp nurse had to cancel last minute for personal reasons so we need a healthcare professional to administer medication to our campers each day. The camp is an overnight camp running from June 1st - June 7th, 2019. We can work with your schedule if you are only able to volunteer for a shorter period of time. If you and any of your colleagues could break the days up during the week, we just need a medical professional on site at all times during the week.

Camp CADI is the first of its kind, created specifically to meet the unique needs of young girls whose lives have been traumatized by CSA. In company with their peers, girls discover the power of community as they enjoy typical camp experiences, expressive arts and a mentor program that lays a foundation for trusting relationships with adults. Friendships are formed, painful emotions are released, coping skills are learned, and girls leave with a new sense of empowerment.

When children are sexually abused their childhood is stolen, and our most significant mission at Camp CADI is to give each girl the opportunity to experience the simple joys of childhood again.
