Rev up your young one's energy and self-esteem at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies for Rhinebeck, New York.

Now in its third season here, the "Radiant Power of Girls" camp week is back by popular demand.

“It’s a huge hit, and attracts girls from all over and differing traditions,” says Carol Donahue, director of Rhinebeck Programs for the institute.

Limited to twenty-five girls, ages five through twelve, the week-long, five-hour a day summer program combines Kundalini Yoga, chanting sessions with artist, Sukhdev Jackson, crafting, African dance, teamwork and trust-building experiences. On the final day, a “glam squad” of assistants pamper the girls with manicures and beauty treatments, says Donahue.

Young participants sleep on campus, accompanied by their mothers, who attend classes and workshops during the day. All meals are eaten together.

"You come away with a true sense of belonging to the global gathering of girls and lasting knowledge about your own fundamental power, value, and voice," according to the workshop's online description at eomega.com.
