About the provider

Camp Mariastella was founded in 1941 by the Sisters of Social Service, who had been involved in youth camping since the 1930s. Its mission says it is a place where children and young adults come together, recognize commonalities, and learn from each other through living together in a cooperative environment.

Girls Camp is in Encino, California. Financial assistance is available. Camperships reduce the price to $50. All camp sessions are 5 days/4 nights. Religion is an important experience of the summer, and all faiths are respected. There are opportunities to create prayer as part of the camp program. Campers take an active role in these times of prayer.
