Students will research, design, build and test prototype solutions. They will visit local laboratories and engage with a diverse group of women in STEM careers.

Finally, students will present their projects to a team of STEM professionals to gain feedback and greater understanding.

If a camper is registered for a full-day camp or has chosen the option to “make a day,” a healthy lunch with several options will be available to her in the Dining Hall. Campers may opt to bring their own lunch, but the fees will not be reduced. We are a peanut free campus.

What if my daughter doesn’t know anyone in her camp session or camp grouping?

An overwhelming majority of girls do not know anyone in their group on the first day of camp. This is why Harpeth Hall Summer Programs goes above and beyond to make girls feel comfortable at camp.

Remember, teaching girls is all we do. Both faculty leaders and high school counselors encourage girls to make new friends while participating in camp.
