Summer camps in Colorado for girls include the traditional outdoor adventures, such as horseback riding, hiking and fishing. Another option is attending a dance training camp. The benefits of summer camp are huge, such as confidence building, independence, adventure and friendships. Many parents chose to send their children to girls-only camps because girls are less self-conscious and inhibited in learning when boys are not present. - Professional dance training for girls of all abilities are offered at camps.girl dancing image by Peter Baxter from Fotolia.com
