OUR MISSION

WHY?

We believe that young women have a unique contribution to make to society. We encourage girls to be leaders of today and tomorrow, and equip them with the tools to do so through a combination of leadership talks, personal challenges, faith formation, team building activities, and one-on-one mentoring, all provided by trusted role models and done alongside similarly driven peers. Designed by parents, educators, and other professionals, Camp Monte Stella motivates young women to use their talents in a shared vision of service oriented leadership at home, at school, and in the community.

WHAT?

We offer a nurturing recreational summer camp that fosters a sense of mission and of friendship with a network of similarly driven peers. Through this environment we can bring out the best in young women. Camp Monte Stella challenges the campers to practice cheerfulness, generosity, responsibility, diligence, fortitude and femininity — key qualities to be authentic leaders.

We train high school counselors to design, prepare and lead 1) leadership talks on organization, resiliency, loyalty, generosity, sociability, and comportment, 2) faith formation, 3) team-based activities that enforce and provide opportunities to practice what they learn, and 4) classes in science, engineering, culinary, visual and performing arts. Through this training, the counselors gain confidence and leadership ability, and mastery of the material they teach, for helping others to become leaders.

HOW?

We operate on a volunteer basis and cater to families and girls from 5th to 9th grade via our summer camp and counselor training program.


Camp Monte Stella is a leadership initiative of Stellar Leadership, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Now in our 14th year, we continue to foster leadership skills in young women across the Bay Area.
