Girl Power

Girl Power is dedicated to promoting science and engineering for young women.

2024 marks our 22nd year of Girl Power.

 

Details

Girl power is an experience exclusively for girls entering grades 5-9. This unique program has been developed to promote science and engineering specifically to girls. Girl Power is an addition to our regular camp program. It is a checkbox option when filling out the online registration form for camp.  

Girl Power participants, in addition to their regularly scheduled week of camp, will get together with other girl power participants to do additional activities. They will be able to complete additional activities with female instructors on the Thursday night of their camp week. They will also stay overnight with female instructors in accommodations on campus on the Thursday of camp. Meals from supper on the Thursday to lunch on the Friday will be included along with games, experiments, and tours. There is a maximum capacity of 20 girls for each week so register early! 

Note: The STEM activity will change every week and will not necessarliy be related to the camp they are attending.
