CAMP GIRL WITH GRIT
FALL AND SPRING 6 WEEK SESSIONS
The purpose of Camp Girl with Grit is to quickly saturate basic life skills that are needed for independent living. Camps have been called potentially life-saving and life-changing by law enforcement and behavioural scientists. We don’t discriminate but do ask for the registration to be limited to those that are born girls or identify as girls.

Second Week:
Drive and Thrive
Girls will learn how to change a tire, jump a battery, roadside safety, and vehicle maintenance.
