5 Summer Camps Empowering Girls

It’s tough to be a teenager, specifically a teenage girl. Research shows that as soon as some young girls attend high school, their self-esteem plummets. Once they become unhappy with themselves, they begin dieting, avoiding normal daily activities, and becoming bullies.

It’s important for women to learn confidence at a young age in order to lead healthy and successful lives. So for all the girls out there battling today’s societal standards, here are four summer camps to help empower you to be fearless.

Girls Who Code
You won’t find any outdoor hikes or bonfire stories at this summer program. Girls Who Code is for the future computer scientists and engineers of the world. Young women get to interact with professionals and see what it takes to make it in the tech world. You can find this program in more than a dozen cities across the U.S., so there's a good chance you’ll find a summer program near you.

Girls Rock! Camp
This camp aims to get young girls behind an instrument and ready to have some fun! After just a few days, they’re on stage, at a real music venue, rocking out. Even if your daughter doesn’t know how to play the drums or the guitar, Girls Rock! camp will help her learn - they even offer classes in yoga and self-defense as well! There may be a camp near your neighborhood; if not, they’ll show you how to start one!

Girls Leadership
This may seem like a classic American summer camp on the surface, but this camp digs deep into the minds of teenage girls (which is not always an easy task). Girl Leadership focuses on their confidence, communication, and relationship skills so by the end of the summer they’ll be able to take more risks and stand up for themselves (and others). This program is offered in select states including California, Colorado, New Jersey, and New York.

GirlVentures
It doesn’t need to be summer for you to enjoy this “summer camp;” GirlVentures is a program you can enjoy year-round! They work with girls on their conflict resolution skills while still having fun at the same time - rock climbing, backpacking, or kayaking, anyone?
