Program Goals

Girls Empowerment through STEAM & Non-Traditional Careers

Our first priority is girls empowerment. Everything we do at camp is to make girls feel powerful! The girls have workshops in STEAM and trades/skills not often taught to young women.

Life Skills & Healthy Relationships

Growing up is more than just about academics. At Camp Rosie: Girls on the Rise, participants will learn skills that will help them become more successful, content, and balanced. Girls explore healthy relationships and bystander intervention, stress reduction techniques including yoga, journaling, and breathing exercises.

Arts & Culture

Learning about the girls’ own cultures and history as well as those of their home fosters an understanding of where they come from and how they can be more inclusive, fair, and respectful of other people. Through a variety of arts and culture activities girls will deepen their understanding.

Leadership & Civic Engagement

The knowledge we provide helps girls prepare for their future. Most importantly, they’ll learn principles of social justice and community engagement and the skills that will make them leaders in their community.
