Curious Jane is for girls entering 2nd–6th grades. We offer multiple one-week sessions at lovely schools
around New York City and Philadelphia. This summer, we have programs at
Marymount (Manhattan),
Berkeley Carroll (Brooklyn), Poly Prep (Brooklyn), Bryn Mawr College (Bryn Mawr) and Springside (Philadelphia).
Call us if you'd like to see one in your city!
Curious Jane's hallmarks are our fabulous teachers, small classes, and all-girls environment. Every session of girls
is different; each creates its own magic. We provide an environment for exploration that encourages them to be active,
look at things in new ways, and experiment! We are active and involved – our girls learn and have fun by DOING.
We offer six project-based themes that revolve around design, engineering and the sciences. Girls register
for one theme per week. Guest visitors, trips and group projects relate back to what they are doing and learning.
We play outside often and set aside time for less structured creativity. Our standard day runs 9am-3:30pm,
with after-camp until 5:30. See dates, schedule and themes above.
Our locations have wonderful facilities with sun-lit, air-conditioned classrooms.Class size
is 8-12 students; girl
are grouped by age.
Our talented, young instructors are endlessly
enthusiastic, and they integrate fresh ways of teaching and connecting. Counselors assist
them to help with projects and provide excellent supervision.
Above all, they're a lot of fun!

Girls Dream Out Loud provides summer and after-school programs for 6- to 16-year-old-girls. We are a
close-knit group, passionate about gender-affirming opportunities and creative, project-based learning.
Blue Tree is our 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!
I was surprised, our first summer, by the impact the environment had on younger girls. It is terrific! We
have a blast! What is behind each of our themes? Let's be active in learning and creating. Let's do what
we love; let's try something new. Let's give it a shot and figure it out! 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
