About Us

Girls Dream Out Loud provides summer and after-school programs for 6- 16-year-old girls. We are a
close-knit group, passionate about gender-affirming opportunities and creative, project-based learning.
Blue Tree is campus-based summer camp for older girls. Curious Jane, for younger girls, is our day
camp and after-school program held at many wonderful schools around the Northeast and growing!

Girls stretch their creativity, strengthen their voices, find new approaches to problem-solving and learning,
build confidence, grow socially, have fun and DREAM OUT LOUD!

Creating these programs has been a dream of my own. I earned my BA from Yale and my Masters of
Industrial Design from Pratt, where I returned to teach. While in school, I spent my summers directing a
variety of all-girls camps. After having two girls of my own, I founded Girls Dream Out Loud, Inc. I am a
designer, teacher and camp founder, but I am a mother first. My daughters - and your daughters - are the
greatest inspiration for what I do!

Blue Tree is a natural extension of my experience with teen girls, and the campus setting provides the
perfect backdrop. The girls who attend are creative and enthusiastic. They are ready to explore fresh ways of
thinking and give shape to new ideas. Each session is different and creates its own magic. No matter what
type of school your daughter attends, there is a place for an all-girls experience. I hope it will be with us!

Sincerely, Samantha Razook Murphy, Founder
