Create.Make.Lead Summer Camp Recap!
2018 Summer Camp @ Catylator

Our 2018 Create.Make.Lead. Summer Camp is a week-long exploration focusing on self-discovery and creation to foster empowered, girl-positive communities, led by 10 year girl empowerment veteran Lindsey Turnbull of MissHeardMedia.com. Our camp took place at Catylator Makerspace in Silver Spring, MD.

Throughout the week, we had a lot of great conversations about leadership, being ourselves, and what changes we wanted to see in the world. We made cool stuff, had dance parties, and even ate ice cream.

One of the highlights of the week was creating group poems. Here is one of our group poems, read by each camper.

Here is a selection of photos and a video from our amazing week!

A. designs her own tile with alcohol-reactive inks, which she will also laser-etch.

I. and B. show off some of the things they’ve laser etched.

Campers copy down the group poem (from video) in their new, handcrafted journals in a rare moment of silence.

B’s zine had us all laughing! She wrote a story about ‘Irresistible’ perfume causing riots.

Group photo! Thanks for a great week, girls!

My daughter thought it was a great experience. Thank you!!!
