welcome to black girls camp...the columbus edition

Welcome to the columbus chapter of black girls camp

After a camping trip to Cincinnati during Founders Weekend of Black Girls Camp, LaShawn wanted to curate the same energy and safe space in the outdoors for women in and surrounding the Columbus, Ohio area. As a military veteran, LaShawn has spent her share of time in the outdoors. LaShawn recruited her friend and cohort, Trina to assist in the planning, execution and management of the Columbus Chapter of Black Girls Camp.

Feel free to connect with our Chapter as we explore The Great Outdoors!

BGC Honor Code

i commit to positivity

Black Girls Camp is an avenue of respite and relaxations for Black Women who enjoy camping and the outdoors. While we understand that everything isn't for everyone, negativity WILL NOT be tolerated.

I commit to personal responsibilty

We expect all members and attendees to be responsible and accountable.

I commit to safety

Please do not engage in any activity that could bring potential harm to yourself or one of your BGC sisters. If you are unsure, PLEASE ASK someone for assistance. If you choose to have an adult beverage, please do so responsibly. Uncontrollable behavior is unacceptable. If you are not staying overnight, BGC requires you wait 1hr before driving.

i will take care of myself, first

As women, we are often caring for others before ourselves. BGC believes in and promotes SELF CARE. If you need to rest, rest. If you need a nap, take one. If you want to do nothing, do nothing. Above all else, DO NOT NEGLECT PERSONAL HYGIENE.

i am a class act

Just be classy. Need we say more?

I accept my strengths and weaknesses

Commit to building on your personal strengths and developing your weaknesses. YOU ARE enough!

I am my sisters keeper

If you find fault with a BGC sister, go to her or to one of the BGC Members Coordinator.
