Girl Talk Summer Camp

Know a girl who would love to be inspired, mentored and encouraged at a camp designed purposely for girls in 4th-8th grades?!

Hi everyone! For those of you who don’t know, Girl Talk is a non-profit (headquartered right here in Atlanta) that provides free peer-to-peer mentoring; high school girls mentor middle school girls. I participated in Girl Talk in middle school and have been a leader for two years in upper school. Currently, I am interning at Girl Talk for my senior project. Girl Talk is such an amazing organization and I have developed countless leadership skills through it.

Every summer, Girl Talk offers a day camp for rising 4th-8th grade girls at Holy Innocents. This year, camp is being held from June 5th-9th. During camp, campers are mentored by high school counselors who lead them through activities that inspire creativity, self-confidence, and leadership. The girls also hear from numerous inspirational speakers throughout the week and participate in community service projects. I actually spoke at camp a few summers ago and it was such an amazing experience for me. Honestly, I can’t recommend sending your daughter to Girl Talk Camp enough - it’s such a fun time and is a great opportunity for your daughter to meet other girls in the Atlanta area.
