New Canaan's Camp LiveGirl Builds Confident Leaders

From LiveGirl: From July 22-26, New Canaan High School was full of young women working on their leadership skills. The 5th annual Camp LiveGirl brought together 130 girls from across Connecticut, including girls from as far away as the Waterbury Boys & Girls Club and the Connecticut Institute for Refugees and Immigrants.

Every single girl grew as a confident leader by meeting fierce female role models and engaging in confidence-boosting activities. The keynote speakers, such as Dr. Cristal Glangchai (CEO VentureLab and bestselling author VentureGirls) inspired the girls to “think like a scientist” and “dream, dare & do” and Georgia Hunter (bestselling author “We Were the Lucky Ones”) encouraged the girls to live brave and embrace their unique self.

The girls also completed a Brave Leaders course and participated in electives including a STEAM Lab by St. Luke’s Design Lab, musical theatre taught by the Summer Theatre of New Canaan, and sports.

LiveGirl would like to thank the New Canaan Community Foundation, the Connecticut Community Foundation, the Grace J. Fippinger Foundation, and Refinitiv for funding camp scholarships and Athleta Westport, Vineyard Vines, NY Empire / NY Gridlock Pro Ultimate Teams, Sacred Heart University Women’s basketball team, Laney Lloyd Photography for providing in kind donations.
