The K – 8th Grade Summer Camp program offers girls a safe, welcoming environment while they are out of school for the summer. Operating hours are from 7:30 am – 6:30 pm. Breakfast, lunch, snack provided every day, although girls are welcome to bring their own healthy options. Cost is $125/week and scholarships are available.
Our Summer Camp includes a full day of activities, where girls explore real world concepts through Girls Inc. curriculum and Dream Harbor, develop friendships, and so much more. Girls have the chance to go swimming, learn new athletic skills, and participate in STEM, Computer, Art, and Gardening. Our girls in 1st – 3rd grades participate in the Summer Reading Challenge, but all girls read every day, participate in Literacy activities, and earn incentives to celebrate their goals.

eureka! program
Eureka! is a 5-year STEM, personal development, and sports program for girls (50% STEM, 25% personal development, 25% sports) in 8th grade. In years 1 and 2, girls will participate in 4-week camps on a college campus. Years 3 and 4 include internships with businesses in our community. The 5th and final year consists of an internship and/or a 4-week camp focusing on career and college readiness and STEM.
This program sets out to do educational, professional, and personal development. It provides a STEM-focused program that encourages girls to see themselves in STEM. It gives girls a look at what it’s like on a college campus and helps prepare them for the future whether that’s a four year college experience, community college, trade school, or entering the workforce.
We are currently accepting registrations for incoming 8th grade students for the 2023 Eureka! Summer Program.

Project Accelerate
As an extension of Eureka! and The High School Program, we launched Project Accelerate in 2022 to support girls through post-secondary enrollment. This brand new program will follow girls from 11th grade through college, and from college to a career. Ultimately, the program works to speed the entry of young women into positions of leadership and transform the workplace for women by driving cultural change toward equity and ensuring educational attainment and skill development.
