2. Overcoming Challenges Together

Camp WeHakee offers a versatile series of enriching activities, some challenging, some easy, and some incredibly fun. It’s in overcoming these challenges together that the girls build strong friendships. Nothing bonds two people more than facing and overcoming hurdles together.

3. Unplugging from the Modern World

Away from a whirlwind of constant notifications, buzzing phones, and endless scrolling, WeHakee serves as a space for real-world interactions and experiences. The girls have an opportunity to develop empathic relationships, have genuine conversations and share joyful laughter - a recipe for lasting friendships indeed.

4. Personal Growth and Shared Experiences

A summer at WeHakee is not just about having fun. Its core emphasis is on personal development, values, and growing as an individual. Girls witness each other grow, improve, and transform, which leaves an indomitable impact on the friendships they cultivate.

5. Spending Quality Time Together

Girls spend their summer bonding over shared meals, bonfire stories, challenges and victories. This repeated exposure and shared experience helps forge strong bonds and beautiful memories that last beyond just the length of the summer.

The girls enter Camp WeHakee as mere acquaintances and leave as family, cherishing the deep bonds of friendship and countless memories they’ve shared over summer. This powerful experience of creating supportive relationships, of relating to one another beyond the bounds of traditional social backgrounds and barriers, truly captures the essence of summer camp friendships.

It’s at Camp WeHakee that children's camp bonding isn’t just a part of the summer camp experience; it's an integral part of the camp’s ethos.

While personal growth remains a significant focus for WeHakee, it's the shared experiences, the power to collaborate, handle defeat efficiently, and taste victory together that truly foster lifelong friendships.

In the girls-only camp sessions, where girls live and interact with each other 24x7, they develop an emotional bond, a trust founded on shared stories, struggles, laughter, and tears. It’s a beautiful testament to the strength of camp relationship building, which WeHakee proudly witnesses every summer.

As the girls venture on their new academic year, they go armoured with a treasure chest of memories, a summer's worth of growth, and friends they can’t wait to reunite with next summer at WeHakee. It’s at WeHakee that summer camp friendships twist into a memory tape, one they cherish each day of their lives, even till they are far past their camp-going years.

Now, imagine a place that helps your child grow into a better human being, a more respectful individual, and a happier individual. That’s where Camp WeHakee stands – making summer dreams come true, with an added dose of lifelong friendships.
