Camp CEO, Grades 10-12

August 1-4 at Camp Elliott Barker

Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails is teaming up with You Go G.I.R.L. to offer a special camp session at Camp Elliott Barker for teen girls. Camp CEO is a fun, four-day overnight camp that brings together 30 teen girls and 30 of our area’s most accomplished women executives for a highly-rewarding, unique, and often surprising opportunity to learn what it’s really like to be an executive woman in today’s world. Sitting around the campfire, you’ll discover how these real women started out just like you - a teen girl with dreams, goals and everyday challenges. Girls and senior-exective women will participate in activities like: learning about different personalities and why we like what we like, attending a career fair, learning how to start a conversation easily in an adult setting, participate in small group networking with executive women, doing a mock interview, spending time around the campfire, and listening and learning from one another.
