Blue Tree

Blue Tree is a summer enrichment program at Bryn Mawr College (PA) for girls entering 7th–12th grades.
Each session is two weeks long, with both residential and day options, and girls choose two classes per session.
Bryn Mawr is a renowned all-women's liberal arts college, located in a lovely, safe community about ten miles
north of Philadelphia. We welcome girls from many different states and countries.

Blue Tree is about doing something new you've always wanted to try, or exploring your favorite subject in a different way.
It's about living on a college campus, meeting new people, and learning from fabulous teachers and counselors.
Blue Tree girls are creative and enthusiastic. They are ready to explore fresh ways of thinking and give shape to new ideas.
Each group of girls is different, and each creates its own magic!

Please note: Residential space in Session 1 is full. Limited space is available Session 2.

Our Staff

Our classes are taught by smart, hands-on teachers who are advanced graduate students and young professionals.
They are endlessly enthusiastic about their topics, always livening the classroom with fresh ways of thinking and teaching.

Outside the classroom, energetic counselors organize a wide variety of activities. Our Director leads a strong
team and brings experience in all-girls and camp environments. She and our all-female staff live in the dorms
and are always available to the students. Campus safety also provides 24-hour security.

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. It is fresh and engaging. The campus
setting provides a perfect backdrop. Curious Jane, simply put, is something I would have loved as a girl,
and it is what I want for my daughters - to be curious and explore and have fun. 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
