From here, Smart Girls has partnered with the well established non-profit Creative Action to form the Smart Girls/Creative Action Summer Camp. The camp, for girls ages 14-18, seems like a diverse group of girls just hanging out together, when in reality each activity is research based and designed to teach about relational aggression, critical thinking, social justice or one’s own ability to create change for good. The feedback from the campers and their caregivers has been overwhelming. The goal is to offer the camp in many cities in order to give this opportunity to as many girls as possible. In other ongoing field work, Ms. Walker gives workshops in schools, and talks at conferences nationwide to deliver the Smart Girls message. Positive spaces like the one Smart Girls provides are much needed. Smart Girls at the Party serves as a fun and insightful resource that champions young women, letting them know that their best option is to be themselves.
