In response to camper/parent requests, a new program is being developed that specifically caters to girls. It will offer the same fully-packed camp curriculum, which includes the very best of coding, animation and Web curriculum. However, SummerTech's new camp for girls will be designed to empower girls to become high-tech learners, gain confidence as they excel, and discover the fun world of computers alongside new friends.

According to the founder of SummerTech Steven Fink: “Over the years, SummerTech has had the privilege of working with some very skilled, talented girls who have gone on to excel in this field.”  

“The world of computers is a wide open one with new and exciting opportunities continuously emerging for girls.  Our new program for girls at SummerTech is  designed to pave the way and prepare our female campers to seek out these great opportunities and interests,” he added.
