Beautiful Shades Summer Camp
A Dynamic, Fun Summer Camp for BIPOC Girls in Middle School
Looking to enrich your daughter’s summer with joy, confidence and empowerment? Wouldn’t it be nice for her to do so in an environment where she’s not the only person of color?
Middle school can be a challenging time for all kids as they explore their identities, take on more responsibilities and learn to navigate the world. For children of color, especially girls, at Primarily White Institutions (PWI) those challenges increase tenfold. BIPOC students at PWIs must not only cope with the same issues as their white peers, but they must do so while trying to navigate systems that were not designed for them.
Beautiful Shades Summer Camp is an opportunity for BIPOC girls to build confidence, gain support and celebrate their identities! For 5 fun-filled days, we will foster connections, explore tough topics and develop strategies to help girls feel empowered to face the upcoming school year as their full selves. Combining indoor and outdoor time each day, activities will include:- Identity Collages- Song & Dance- Stress-Management Crafts- Challenge Course
Please come join us for a week of BIPOC joy!
