LaTonya's twelve year old daughters attended Camp GEMS, the two-week math and science camp held by Girls Inc. and the Life Science Education Center at Marian College last year. With respect to Girls Inc.'s mission to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, LaTonya felt that her twins had the strong and the smart, but not the bold. For instance, one of her daughters ran for student council a year ago, but wasn't successful in her bid. She swore she would not run again.
However, after her daughters attended Camp GEMS and participated in Girls Inc.'s personal empowerment and self-confidence programs, LaTonya noticed they had developed the "bold." In fact, when school started this fall, her daughter decided to run again for student council - and she won! Both she and her daughters are looking forward to Camp GEMS in 2009!
Help girls you know become strong, smart, and bold by getting them involved in Girls Inc.'s summer camp programs. Registration is now available online!
