Camp Girl With Grit is an intensive but fun life skills camp for female youth ages 8-22.  Over the course of classes, youth learn about the skills it takes to survive.  We engage students with fun, hands-on learning, and projects.

The camps quickly saturate basic life skills that are needed for independent living.  Camps have been called potentially life-saving and life-changing by law enforcement and behavioral scientists.
