North Star Quest Camp is a five day “sleep away” Summer camp for Girls+* going into 6th through 9th grade next Fall.

We are located in Humboldt County California at the Mattole Camp and Retreat on the beautiful Mattole River.

Each day at camp is packed! There's fun and interesting workshops, swimming, art, campfires, new friends, and big dreams. It's time just for you to think about the woman you want to be. It's a place for growing where it's easier to be yourself.

Our all female staff puts together activities focused on empowering adolescent girls with the tools they need to navigate their turbulent teens and land on the shores of womanhood safe and strong. We never turn a camper away because they can’t pay! See Scholarship information on the Registration page.

Campers spend Sunday afternoon until friends and family brunch on Thursday at the beautiful Mattole Camp & Retreat outside of Petrolia CA.

Workshops are different each year. Here's some things we've done before:

  • Belly dancing

  • Songwriting

  • Yoga

  • Self defense

  • Clowning

  • Healthy Relationships

  • Media Literacy

  • Women's Health

  • Poetry

  • Nutrition

  • Mask Making

  • & Other Fun Surprises

*We realize that not everyone who wants to go to camp feels like the word “girl” describes them. That’s okay. If you’re wondering if you’ll fit in, please read our Statement on Gender.
