Welcome, my brave young adventurers, to the state of Illinois! A magical land sandwiched between the Mighty Mississippi on its western side and the gorgeous Lake Michigan to the north. The land is flat like a pancake, but don't be fooled, it's swimming with wonder and water activities for every fun-loving kiddo. 

Now, let's spin our imaginary periscope and spot some of the local heroes of this story. Meet the Water Warriors, a bunch of nifty kids from all corners of Illinois. They are the kings and queens of splash, masters of paddle, and they laugh in the face of a belly flop!

Bobbing Bob is their leader, a cheeky chap from Chicago, who can paddleboard Lake Michigan faster than a duck on roller skates. Then, you have Diving Daisy from Decatur. She can perform the most ornate cannonballs into the local pool that it leaves everyone, even the lifeguards, in fits of giggles. And don't forget about Snorkeling Sam from Springfield, who can hold his breath underwater long enough to have a tea party with the fishies!

These Water Warrior kids, they are the heart and soul of Illinois. They're as unstoppable as the Mississippi River, as lively as a summer’s day in Chicago, and as buoyant as a life jacket. And they invite you to come join their joyous jamboree of water wonders. So put on your swim caps, adjust those goggles, and get ready to dive into the watery wonders of Illinois!

And the more they build on those skills, the more they’ll feel confident and independent. 

Camping is an amazing way for girls to strengthen their leadership skills, build confidence, and develop a strong appreciation for the natural world. It encourages them to put down their electronics and immerse themselves in the great outdoors. It also provides the opportunity to acquire outdoor skills that can’t be found anywhere else. These include building a campfire, putting up a tent, and canoeing across a lake. As girls gain more confidence and independence in these activities, they can better explore their leadership abilities and grow as individuals.
