Harness Your Potential to Lead and Influence

This free, five-day leadership summer camp empowers students to be creative leaders and courageous agents of change. Open to young women and women-identifying students entering 11th and 12th grade.

"One thing I love about ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Kate’s is their determination to encourage strength and leadership in women. I was only at the camp for one week and already I feel different and more confident in myself and my leadership abilities. Being surrounded by incredible young women for a whole week working together was a truly fantastic experience and one I won’t be forgetting." - Bridget, 12th grader from ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists
