designLab
The Future Is Female: Campers will learn basic digital woodworking skills. Students will learn how to create a digital design that is cut on the laser cutter for assembly. They will learn how to draft a template for a jewelry box and find whatever inspiration that suits your accessories. Campers will add a unique design to their keepsake box.
Theme: Discover Your Inner Shero
Creative Project: Design Your Shero Identity + Cape Creation
Campers will sketch and design their unique Shero alter ego: What are her powers? Her mission?
Create personalized Shero capes using fabric, paint, and iron-on logos made in designLab.
Use digital tools (like Cricut or laser cutter) to design Shero badges or emblems they can wear all week.
Week Two | Hero Training
designLab
Make Your Mark: Live Girl campers will not only get to make a one-of-a-kind fragrance, they will also learn about marketing their brand. We will use our state-of-the-art designLab to create labels for our signature scents. Campers will use what is unique about them to begin thinking about how strategic marketing can be useful to them in the future. We will explore graphic design and fragrance-making with essential oils and get creative with packaging our perfume.
Theme: Building Strength & Character
Creative Project: Power Tokens + Mission Patches
Campers will use Tinkercad and 3D printing or resin molds to create Power Tokens that represent qualities like bravery, kindness, and strength.
Design “Mission Patches” to represent the challenges they’ve completed (like obstacle courses or kindness missions).
Decorate a small “Shero Tool Kit” box to keep their tokens and patches.
Takeaway: Power tokens + custom patches + decorated toolkit box
Week Three | Save the World!
designLab
Token of Appreciation: LiveGirl campers will create molds for pouring resin. We will design and fabricate molds for creating tokens, gems, and other fun artifacts. Campers will learn the basics of using Tinkercad to 3D print along with our mold-making machines including our vacuum former and pressure pot. Each girl will take home an original token from this engaging activity, and the results are priceless
Theme: Lead with Purpose
Creative Project: Shero Brand + Signature Scent & Packaging
Campers will create their own “Shero Brand” that reflects their leadership style and values.
Design and print their own logo and packaging labels in designLab.
Create a “Shero Manifesto” scroll: a short written declaration of who they are and how they’ll make a difference in the world.

WHY CAMP LIVEGIRL?
Now more than ever, the need for girl empowerment and preparing the next generation of female leaders is clear and urgent.
Research has shown that girls-only settings promote a greater “can do” attitude, a greater impact on young women’s social self-confidence, a more effective environment for personal development, and a more supportive environment to pursue STEM and leadership opportunities.
Past camp speakers have included: best-selling authors Lauren Oliver and Georgia Hunter, Paralympic Champion Jessica Long, CNN Anchor Alisyn Camerota, Race Car Driver Sarah Edwards, Vice President at Mastercard Nicole Lindsay and many more!
