Camp Congress for Girls KY program offering 50% discount; parents enter the code SPONSORSHIP when registering and the fee will be reduced.

Camp Congress for Girls Lexington 2014 is a leadership program that introduces girls ages 7 to 17 to politics. Camp begins with a girl-friendly lesson on the structure of our political system. Each girl will choose to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives, the US Senate or for the presidency. She will create her own campaign with a platform, campaign slogan, campaign finance plan, campaign marketing materials and a political ad for television. All campers will register to vote and then vote in an election. Once elected to Congress and sworn in, the newly installed members of Congress will learn how to introduce a bill, debate the merits of the bill, lobby fellow legislators, collaborate with the Executive branch and finally vote on the proposed bill. Camp will culiminate with a ceremonial signing of the bill by our Ms. President. During the camp session the campers will meet elected officials and political consultants that will serve as honorary camp counselors. 

The camp day runs from 8am to 5pm. The camp fee includes snacks and all supplies for camp activities. Campers are to bring lunch. No refunds will be given for camp registration fees. Upon completing payment, you will receive an email from our organization with camp registrations forms for you to complete and return to us. The camp fee is $150.
