When looking for summer camps or after-school activities for your daughters, consider some of the girl-empowering options out there.
Although engaging young girls in sports in general gives an important boost to their self-esteem, there are a few programs that specifically aim at making girls feel good about themselves.
A few that I like:
Rock’n’Roll Camp for Girls is a 501(c)3 non-profit that builds girls’ self-esteem through music creation and performance.
Girls on the Run is a non-profit prevention program that encourages preteen girls to develop self-respect and healthy lifestyles through running.
Empower Girls is a California-based non-profit organization with workshops on self-image for girls and women.
KidPower: though not specific to girls, this self-defense program teaches people of all ages and abilities to use their power to stay safe, act wisely, and believe in themselves.
You may also want to go with your daughter to watch the movie Girls Rock that opened in theaters yesterday, where, according to reviews, “What happens to the girls as they are given a temporary reprieve from being sexualized, analyzed and pressured to conform is truly revolutionary.”
