REVIEWS

I attended the Mother-Daughter Camp Congress and we learned so much! The curriculum is thoughtfully planned and very thorough. You essentially get an semester’s worth of a government class in one day, digested in an easy to understand format for young girls. The workshop is engaging, interactive, and hands on, and oh so important. This workshop plants seeds of confidence in our daughters, educates them, and grooms them for leadership. I highly recommend it!

I highly recommend this leadership program! My two girls and their friend had such an enriching time at Camp Congress for Girls in DC last year, they asked to go to Camp UN in NYC. And they did! The experiences were well worth the money. The girls received a Girl Scout badge as well as extra credit in Social Studies plus firsthand, real-world exposure to important issues confronting women and girls. All three girls are now interested in politics. I raved about the camps to a reporter with NBC Washington who wrote this about the program.

Homeschoolers here! Registered for the Girls in Politics webinars to supplement our daughters in social studies. Excellent curriculum, engaging knowledgeable instructors. Highly recommend to those homeschooling during the pandemic.

Our Girl Scout troop earned ‘Behind the Ballot’ badges online today for completing the Civics 101 class. Great way to convene and earn badges virtually.

Miriam and Anna took the United Nations class by Zoom today learnt a great deal. Thanks Girls in Politics for new programmes!

Longtime fans of this company’s girls camps. My girls love the new classes online.
Margaret H.Atlanta, GA
Our camp was converted to an online class shortly after the pandemic hit. I was skeptical that the girls would be engaged. The class exceeded our wildest expectations. The instructor engaged the class for two hours straight. My daughters also took the Civics 101 for Girls and United Nations 101 for Girls webinars, both excellent classes.

Recommended by family and friends in London, my girls loved United Nations class in Toronto.
Michael WToronto, Canada
My daughter really enjoyed the United Nations 101 for Girls webinar yesterday – she was pretty excited that it was her resolution the group chose to work on! Thanks for offering these great programs – they’ve taught her a lot!

My girl attended Camp Congress for Girls and United Nations for Girls in Manhattan. She loved the class. We’re attending the new Girls in Business class next year. I recommend registering early for the Manhattan classes which always sell out quickly. It took a year for me to get the United Nations class ticket. For Girl Scouts every class offers a Girl Scout badge

My daughter just finished up Camp UN in San Francisco yesterday … and loved it!!! Whew … because I had already signed her up for Camp Congress in May. She is 10 and in 4th grade … as just at the right age to find everything super interesting, and old enough to understand the concepts. As a human rights lawyer who worked for the UN for over a decade, I was impressed with what my daughter came home knowing and talking about yesterday.

This camp is awesome! My daughter made it and she enjoyed learning about politics. She says she says that she will be a Senator one day! Thank you!!!

I just wanted to pass on my appreciation for a well-run program in Sydney on 11 May. My daughter Charlotte was in attendance, and learnt an incredible amount! Her feedback to me, was that it was fun, well structured, a very informative. Thanks again!

I cannot recommend these camps highly enough! My daughter was lucky enough to participate in one of the Girls in Politics camps and got to build a campaign, plan a platform to run on, even make those uncomfortable calls requesting campaign funding. These invaluable skills must be taught and the earlier, the better! In the currently polarized political climate, having a real understanding of our political systems is critical for being part of a democracy and knowing how to effect the change that is important to you personally. Girls In Politics allows a group that is often overlooked educationally to be the focus, empowering girls to see their value, their worth and their power. It is a critical and highly effective addition to girls’ education. I wish it could be a required part of the curriculum!

So thankful for @Girlsinpolitics – my daughter had a blast today, learned a ton, and is still rehearsing her fundraising phone calls for her future run for Senate! #YearoftheWoman #Civics #Bethechange

My daughter did Camp Congress this last month and it was fantastic. She is doing the UN one in the fall. She went by herself and loved it – highly recommend if your daughter has any interest.
Lorraine L. Seattle, WA
Though my daughter had some knowledge of the systems of government, this experience blew her away. The field trips to the places where the systems come to life were invaluable and have created lasting impressions about her role in the society. The tours to sites relevant to individual contributors to the shaping of this nation were a welcome and pleasant surprise. Overall a great experience
Lauren S.Washington, DC
So, my two children attended a “Girls in Politics” workshop yesterday. They’re (almost) 13 and 11. Last night, they proceeded to school me on the U.N. Hope IS on the way! #girlpower
