Our custom programming option infuses a bit of Empower Camp "magic" into everyday life! While we can't bring everyone to camp every single day of the year, we CAN bring Empower Camp to you. Empowerment is part of an ongoing personal journey for women of all ages and this option allows maximum flexibility for a big impact.
Here's How it works:
Examples of activities that can be built into the program include…
Empower Camp facilitated Buffalo Seminary’s new student program in 2017 and has led custom programs for Girl Scout Troops and adult corporate events.
Empower Camp is open to all interested young women, ages 13-18, who would like to ignite their inner power through a 48 hour summer camp program.
Empower Camp believes that if a young woman wants to attend camp, she should have the opportunity to do so which is why we believe in offering Camp Scholarships.
