TESTIMONIALS
My daughter will be in attendance next summer!!
An Awesome program for our youth. A program geared and for the young ladies! Exactly what I was looking for since my daughter lives with 3 older brothers. Most of the summer programs and summer camps are unisex. I was excited to find a program just for her. I think it is important to be involved with something the girls can call their own.
My daughter enjoyed meeting other little girls. Enjoyed meeting new people. She also enjoyed the various workshops and learning session
She particularly enjoyed the exercise session and she enjoyed the instructor as well. Throughout the various workshops she enjoyed learning things about the other girls while also learning things about herself. As a parent I am happy that she is happy. When picking her up at the end of the camp day she always will get in the car smiling and in high spirits. That to me indicates the day she has had. I am pleased we found an environment where she feels comfortable and safe while learning and having fun.
Awesome and necessary work for our young girls. Keep thriving! Keep mentoring!
The program leaders encourage them to see the beauty and excellence that lies within themselves.
I recently created with the young ladies of Women Just Like Me and immediately fell in love with this programs mission to uplift young women. The program leaders encourage them to see the beauty and excellence that lies within themselves. I was impressed with how the girls were taught to be confident and achieve their goals through self expression and boldly stating positive affirmations. I would highly recommend this program to young ladies coming of age.
This is a great chance for young ladies to connect
My 10-year-old got a chance to have a overnight camp outing and had a good time. The girls weekend was so amazing . This is a great chance for young ladies to connect!
