The mission of Girls Create is to empower girls and nonbinary youth to lead and effect change in themselves and others through creative learning. Girls Write, Girls Stand-Up, Girls Design Fashion and Girls Artfully Minded seek to encourage girls to tap into their creativity, gain confidence, and do what they love.
Each week-long program culminates in a showcase where we invite the community, including friends and family of campers to see their work. This Friday celebration is a highlight for participants and instructors!
All camps are $275/week and include all materials and supplies. Lunch is not included; however, a morning and afternoon snack are! All camps are in person and all camp times are 9am-3pm at the designated locations. A limited number of full and partial scholarships are available. Email info@athenaprojectarts.org for details.
