About Us

Aimee Helfand

Aimee is a seasoned entrepreneur, board advisor, and girl mom dedicated to elevating young women to reach their boundless potential. As a female founder and digital media veteran, Aimee was galvanized to disrupt the outdated summer camp experience after having countless conversations with adolescents facing unique challenges; isolation, loneliness and anxiety in this digitally obsessed world.

Athena Helfand

Athena is a 14-year-old scholar-athlete, enthusiastic traveler, and creative thinker who wanted to reimagine what summer adventures could look like for girls her age - global experiences in magical places with real, in-person connections, self-discovery and cultural enrichment.

As mother-daughter co-founders, Aimee and Athena have turned their dream into action with VoyaBella's mission to continue creating amazing travel experiences for girls that will embolden them to dream big, empower confidence, and cherish connection while sparking cultural curiosity and adventure!
