Where Girls Can See What They Can Be

Female Strong’s camp at Eisenhower High School, themed “Turn Your Passion into Action and Share it with the World!”, was a day of creativity, self-discovery, and empowerment. As our first-ever camp held at a high school during a school day—rather than a corporate location—it provided a unique opportunity to engage with a group of young girls who already had connections with one another. This familiar setting fostered deeper conversations and collaboration as participants explored the meaning of confidence, reflected on their strengths, and learned strategies to assert themselves in various situations. Through interactive discussions and role-playing exercises, they tackled real-world challenges, gaining valuable tools to navigate conflict with self-assurance and empathy. The camp also encouraged entrepreneurial thinking, as students worked together to develop innovative solutions to everyday problems. They brought their ideas to life by designing products and services, refining their concepts, and presenting them to their peers. The hands-on approach fostered collaboration, critical thinking, and a sense of ownership over their ideas. Beyond business and leadership skills, the day emphasized personal growth. Students created vision boards to represent their aspirations, mapping out their goals in a tangible and inspiring way. Through every activity, the camp provided a supportive space for young women to embrace their voices, step into leadership, and turn their passions into action. A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated volunteers, the Female Strong team, and board member Jen Tadin for their leadership and support throughout the day. We are also grateful to Eisenhower High School for hosting this inspiring event and for their commitment to empowering the next generation of female leaders.
