All Project Challenge programs use adventure activities and the outdoor environment to help girls become increasingly strong, capable, and confident.

Further, all Project Challenge programs culminate in actively helping and supporting participants as they apply the lessons and skills learned in our programs to the real world challenges they face in daily life.

Currently, Project Challenge offers two primary formats for our programs. This include Challenge Trip and Confidence Course programs.

Challenge Trips

Challenge Trips represent our most comprehensive program. This program consists of 1) four pre-trip training sessions, 2) a multi-day adventure camping trip, 3) a Family and Friends Celebration, and 4) 45 - 60 days of post trip activities and support. Adventure camping trips include whitewater rafting, rappelling, and/or rock climbing activities. Challenge Trips emphasize building girls' self-confidence, self-esteem, and coping skills, and enhancing supportive relationships.

Confidence Courses

Confidence Courses utilize ropes course and team building activities to 1) promote self-confidence in girls, and 2) help girls learn to be sources of support and encouragement for one another. This one or two day program has been designed especially for girls facing difficult transitions such as the transition to middle school or high school.
