Camp Congress is a week-long summer camp that introduces girls ages 7 to 14 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, US Senate or for the presidency. She will create her own campaign with a campaign platform, campaign slogan, campaign button, a campaign banner and a yard sign. Each camper will film a political ad for her campaign. All campers will register to vote then vote in an election. Once elected to the Congress, the newly installed members of Congress will learn how to introduce a bill, debate the merits of the bill, lobby other members of Congress and finally vote on the bill. Camp will culminate with a ceremonial signing of the bill by our Ms. President. Throughout the camp week women serving as our local and state elected officials will join us to work with the girls as "honorary camp counselors" giving the campers the opportunity to interact with women in office.
