The Summer Camp at Home Experience

Summer Camp at Home will reach your camper anywhere and includes everything she needs for a meaningful and successful summer camp experience. Girls will receive:

The Summer Camp at Home kit – this includes 15+ hands-on activity materials, a comprehensive engineering journal for self-guided discovery, a camp t-shirt, Girlstart swag, and even a tiny programmable robot for endless hours of fun!
Digital video library to supplement her hands-on learning, available for your camper to view at any time.

Additional opportunity to engage with Girlstart via Zoom

If your daughter is looking to connect with Girlstart and fellow campers, and has the availability, she is invited to join our daily secure Zoom experience facilitated by Girlstart’s trained summer camp team, available the following times daily each camp week (Monday-Friday):
- Monday-Thursday: 9:30-11:30am CST, 1:00-2:00pm CST
- Friday: 9:30-11:30am CST
If your camper can’t make the Zoom times, wants to go at her own pace, or overall doesn’t have access, she can still participate in Summer Camp at Home. She will receive everything she needs in her Summer Camp at Home kit to have an amazing, self-guided camp experience!

Our Summer Camp at Home kits are being produced by volunteers and staff with social distancing protocols.
