  THE CIRCLE PROGRAM  
 

Philosophy
The Circle Program provides a community in which each girl is a valued and contributing member. Within the context of that community, the Circle Program provides new opportunities for the girls to develop new skills, explore new interests, give back to their larger communities, and be involved in a supportive, positive environment. We do this on several different levels, each of which emphasizes the concepts of responsibility and connection.

History
A dedicated group of Onaway trustees founded the Circle Program in 1993, originally called "On-Our-Way." The original program had 22 girls enrolled, thre volunteers and a staff members or two. The first camp session went without a mishap and the campers had the kind of experience that would make a difference in their lives. Now, over a decade later, the Circle Program has grown to 36 girls in our two-year program, 28 girls in our Teen Program, 45 volunteers, and a year-round staff of five. We have served over 215 girls and have our own camp on Spectacle Pond. As we look back on how far we've come over the years, we are mindful that we would not be here today without the guidance and support of Camp Onaway. It was their vision that sent us "on our way!"
