Camp Inspire at Gwynedd: a STEAM & Confidence Camp for Girls

At Camp Inspire at Gwynedd we believe that girls should rule the world! Or, 至少, be equipped with the education, skills and self-esteem that leads them to believe that they can. Research has shown that by the age of 6, young girls do not believe that they are as smart as boys. As adults we often unintentionally compound that belief by steering girls away from careers that lead to the boardroom (i.e., technology, business, science) towards careers that are more ‘traditionally female’. We invite you to join us so that we can disrupt this pattern, together.


Students applying for Camps Inspire must be entering Grades 6-8 as of September 2024. Participation is limited. Camp Inspire is intentionally designed to create a small, intimate atmosphere in which our diverse camp participants can confidently build meaningful relationships with their peers and teen facilitators  - current Gwynedd students who serve as Camp Counselors. 

学生可选择 一个 每周营数(1.e. Art: 巨星喷码 & 版画 OR 音乐视频工作室) and may apply to up to 2 weeks of Camp Inspire.  Half the day is dedicated to STEAM Curriculum selected on your application and the other half is dedicated to the Confidence Camp. All students are required to attend the full day of camp - no exceptions. 

地点: Gwynedd Mercy Academy High School
时间: 上午8时至下午5时
营的学费: $275.00 (plus materials fee, if applicable)
奖学金 based on financial need are available to families that request this consideration.

大家都知道, each camp also includes a Confidence Camp component – an opportunity for girls to explore their unique characteristics, fully embrace who they are, 交朋友, learn to take risks and live a life full of purpose and potential!
