STEM CAMPS FOR YOUNG GIRLS
We send rising eighth grade girls to the AAUW FL Tech Trek camp each summer. Girls live on campus in residence halls, attend core classes, hands on workshops, field trips and a Professional Women’s Night. Potential campers must be in the seventh grade, nominated by their teacher, complete the application process and interview before selection is made by an AAUW state committee.
