Camp Cabrini:
A Summer Experience for Young Girls
Cabrini is an engaging summer program designed for young girls entering the 1st through 7th grades. Hosted by Cabrini High School, the camp offers a dynamic blend of educational and recreational activities in a relaxed and fun setting.
Each week at Camp Cabrini is packed with a variety of sessions that cater to diverse interests:
• Arts and Crafts: Campers unleash their creativity with various art projects.
• Dance and Cheer: Participants learn new dance routines and cheerleading techniques.
• Movies and Theater: Girls explore the world of cinema and drama through screenings and performances.
• Cooking: Campers get hands-on experience in the kitchen, learning to prepare delicious dishes.
• Sewing: Basic sewing skills are taught, fostering both creativity and practicality.
• STEM Activities: Engaging sessions in science, technology, engineering, and math ignite curiosity and problem-solving skills.
integral part of the camp experience includes learning about the inspirational life of Mother Cabrini. Campers visit the Sacred Heart chapel where Assistant Principal Vivian “Chica” Coutin shares the story of Mother Cabrini’s life and her global impact. Many campers, having watched the Cabrini movie, enthusiastically share their knowledge with the other campers, making the learning experience interactive and engaging. The campers also visit Mother Cabrini’s bedroom and the dedicated museum, deepening their understanding of her legacy.
What summer camp experience would be complete without weekly field trips to offer a change of scenery and additional fun. Campers go bowling, visit the movie theater, play laser tag, and roller skate.
Campers consistently highlight two favorite aspects of their Camp Cabrini experience: making new friends and weekly snowball treats – a beloved New Orleans tradition!
Camp Cabrini offers a well-rounded, enriching summer experience for young girls, blending learning, creativity, and fun in an environment that fosters friendship and personal growth. Through diverse activities and inspiring sessions about Mother Cabrini, campers leave with new skills, cherished memories, and a deeper connection to Cabrini High School.
