Olivia Tiffany '09
Camp Sisterhood is a sleepaway camp co-founded and co-created by Archer Alumni and Doctor of Clinical Psychology, Olivia (Liv) Tiffany '09. Camp Sisterhood was founded and is led by two psychology experts who specialize in supporting girls' social and emotional development. The vision for camp centers upon two core intentions: authenticity and belonging. Camp Sisterhood is an environment where girls can be accepted for their true, unsuppressed selves, while feeling a deep sense of connection, trust and sisterhood. At camp, the silliness, laughter, games, waterfights, marshmallow roasting, and skits exist right alongside the harder and important conversations about friendship conflicts, self-worth, the transition from girlhood to young womanhood, puberty and menstruation, difficult emotions, and the topic of body image. Camp Sisterhood is a place where girls will feel a deep sense of belonging and connection, which can unleash and ignite girls' deep knowing of their worth, their purpose, and their place in this world.
