What is Girls’ Stories, Girls’ Voices?

2026 Theme: Girls Are Powerful

A camp for girls who want to be themselves.

Girls’ Stories, Girls’ Voices is a week-long creative summer camp for middle school girls who want to explore who they are, tell their stories, and connect with the world — and with others.

You’ll write, draw, journal, and work on creative projects that help you express what matters to you — in your own way, at your own pace.

This year’s theme is “Girls are Powerful.” Whether you’re quiet, bold, curious, nervous, or totally unsure — this camp is for you.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to stand up for yourself and others, build strong friendships, connect with your family, your community, and even the wider world — and most importantly, discover how your voice can make a difference..

What Girls Said After Their Experience

“The only person standing in your way is you. Be proud of who you are — even when no one else is.” — age 15

“Every time you do something obscenely stupid, you learn something new.” — age 12

“A voice heard, even as a whisper, is more powerful than no voice at all.” — age 14

“Beauty is what you’re born with. Only you can make yourself ugly. Be who you are, not what anyone wants you to be. You can be anything you want as long as you try your hardest.” — age 12

“The only one who can judge you is YOU! Beauty won’t show unless you let it.” — age 13
