Our two-week, all day Summer Huddles afford us the opportunity to prepare middle school and high school youth to successfully transition to the next grade in an intentional, yet fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Our two-week, all day leadership camp afford us the opportunity to prepare
10th and 11th grade girls to become effective leaders in their schools, churches and community by helping them to discover their unique leadership style and how to work in youth-adult partnerships.

This interactive camp will include workshop and activities by guest trainers like Elyn Garrett Jones, Deputy Communications Director, Maryland Dept. of Human Resources and Lieutenant Colonel Patricia Marshall (retired).
