Youth Program

Camp Emily's Way 

Emily's Way is a transformative 1-week overnight leadership summer camp experience designed to empower 7th and 8th grade Black and Latina girls. This program focuses on nurturing the whole person by instilling values and life skills that will allow these young ladies to unlock their full potential.

Campers will participate in leadership development & STEM activities, community service projects, and wilderness adventures - pushing themselves both mentally and physically while also learning the importance of sisterhood, integrity, resilience, self-awareness, and determination. Our goal is to plant seeds of confidence in these girls at a pivotal time in their development so they can recognize what they desire in life and feel equipped with the tools to go after their dreams.

Led by women West Point graduates and current women cadets, girls will build communication skills, problem-solving abilities, and emotional intelligence. Speakers will share their stories and provide inspiration. Our holistic approach combines personal growth with academic enrichment and workforce/college preparedness. 

At Emily's Way, campers will form friendships and memories that will last a lifetime while gaining the wisdom, experience, and self-belief to become the motivated, compassionate leaders of tomorrow.
