Discover Kahdalea Magic
Since 1963, young women have experienced incredible community, natural beauty, and wild adventures in our lovely mountain abode. Today, hundreds of campers come to their second home in the mountains to encounter faith, grow in confidence, and have fun with friends old and new. Surrounded by a committed staff, our campers are invited to dive deeper into their faith and into adventure. The magic that follows is palpable.
"Pull out the Gold" is a phrase our campers hear often. It is a practice by which we intentionally focus on the best parts of our neighbors at camp. This teaches us to speak well of others, to look for the good in others instead of what is displeasing, and to say what we mean with love in our hearts. At Kahdalea, one of our chief aims is that every member of our community knows that they are seen, known, and loved. Join the joy that is Kahdalea!

What Parents are Saying!
When you're looking at your own kid, you just see all the gold in them. And it's what you want the world to see too. And often times the world isn't always looking for that. But here, I can say from personal experience, the Gold is what we see and the gold is what we focus on.
