Camp GOTR

Camp GOTR by Girls on the Run provides a one-of-a-kind opportunity for girls to develop self-confidence and learn skills they can use now and as they grow.

The week-long program combines the best of our after school programs with all the fun of camp. Girls enjoy being physically active, expressing creativity through arts and crafts and storytelling, and engaging in interactive lessons all while building friendships in a fun and inclusive setting.

FAQ

My girl isn't a big runner; is this program for her? OR My girl is already a skilled runner. Is this program for her?

Yes! We are much more than a running program, and every participant can benefit from the experience of building confidence through accomplishment while participating in our rich, curriculum-based, age-appropriate, interactive lessons. Expect lots of games, talking, laughing and processing in addition to running at each practice. And know that when we say run, we mean run, walk, skip, roll or push, just as long as you are moving foward!

What does the program fee include?

Your program registration fee includes all lesson materials, including GOTR curriculum, activity sheets, lap counters and more, a GOTR t-shirt, a bib entry into the season-ending 5K, a finisher's medal, and a GOTR water bottle.

We can't afford the program registration fee, but our child would love to participate. How does the scholarship program work?

Don't let cost stop you from participating! We are committed to making Girls on the Run accessible to all who want to particpate! Thanks to generous donors and community supporters, program scholarships are available to any family who needs it.

Contact Wynne Speir at wynne.speir@girlsontherun.org to discuss your financial aid options.

When does GOTR take place?

Every fall there will be an eight week season with a season ending 5K. More information and exact dates will be shared by the GOTR staff and by your girl's coaches as the season approaches.

Do girls need to attend both days each week in order to register?

Yes! Since most of our teams fill up quickly, if your girl will be unable to attend all the sessions for the entire session, please save room for a girl who can, and consider joining us in a future season when she can enjoy the entire program.

Is there a way for me to sponsor a participant for a season?

Yes! As a mission-driven 501(c)3, Girls on the Run relies on generous donors in order to provide more than $50,000 in program scholarships for families in need. Contact Wynne Speir to learn more about sponsorsing a girl or a team at wynne.speir@girlsontherun.org
