Fall Session – Camp Girl with Grit Sponsored by MSC Direct – GIRLS ONLY
November 10 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Camp Grit and Camp Girl with Grit are intensive but fun life skills camps for all youth. Over the course of classes with us, youth learn about the skills it takes to survive. We engage students with fun, hands-on learning and projects.
Camps have been called potentially life-saving and life-changing by law enforcement and behavioural scientists. Not only can teaching these skills protect our youth, it can open up interests in new career paths and hobbies through exposure to tools and beginning know-how of GRIT.
Camp Grit and Camp girl with Grit is for all youth 8 and up.
