From June 29th, 2015 to August 7th, 2015, the YWCA Pasadena-Foothill Valley will host its Girls Empowerment Summer Camp. This one-of-a-kind program will be based at the YWCA Pasadena offices, located at 1015 N. Lake Ave, Suite 205, Pasadena. This course encourages girls to seek new experiences, builds self-esteem and new friendships, explores new ideas, develops fresh skills, and empowers girls to dream big!

This unique Summer Camp celebrates the diversity and spirit of the girls in our community and seeks to give them the tools to achieve their goals, as well as expose them to people and places they may have never experienced before. Participants will have the opportunity to explore higher education with tours to CalTech, Cal Poly Pomona, Pasadena City College, Le Cordon Bleu, and more. Camp participants will also be able to visit several places of business and speak with female leaders in various industries, as we show the girls the many career opportunities available and the paths they can take to get there.

At our offices on Lake Avenue, the girls will have the opportunity to have workshops from guest speakers including two of the writers from Bob’s Burgers, make Crafts, make their own artwork with Artist Hope Demetriades, conduct Science Experiments with visitors from Caltech, engage in financial literacy workshops, learn Martial Arts and much more. They will also have time to relax, play board games, watch movies and build new friendships in our recently redesigned Just For Girls and all purpose rooms.

The YWCA Pasadena has also partnered with the Huntington Library and Gardens to bring the girls into the Huntington every Friday to explore plant science, take harvest-to-table cooking lessons, learn to garden, and more outdoor fun! High school aged participants will also have the chance to participate in their Junior Docent program, where they will learn about a piece of artwork in the Huntington Library’s collection and complete a presentation to their peers and parents about what they have learned at the end of the six week session.

Registration for the Summer Camp is $795 for a full six week session, or $150 per individual week. Participants are not required to attend all six weeks. Scholarships to the camp are available. The form to apply for a scholarship and online registration are on the Summer Camp page of our website at bit.ly/GESC2015 or by contacting Cinthya Martinez at (626) 296-8433 or via email at cmartinez@ywca-pasadena.org.
