During the week of June 23 through June 27, the Empowering a Healthier Community Outreach Ministry of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Baltimore, held a Girls Empowerment Camp. Thirteen girls registered for the week-long camp.
The Girls Empowerment Camp was a positive, enriching, and transformative experience for girls entering the 4th and 5th grades (ages 9 – 11). During the camp, there were speakers, instructors, and interactive activities that covered 5 different areas:
- ● Healthy Body
- ● Healthy Mind
- ● Healthy Choices
- ● Creative Expression
- ● Life Skills
It was felt that it is important to have open, informed discussions on these topics so that these young women will be equipped to take on the challenges they will face as they enter adolescence and teenhood. Some lessons may have contained sensitive topics and every effort was made to ensure that factual and age appropriate information was presented.
The camp was funded by an Endowment Grant from the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland.
