Summer Squad

Girls in the Game's Summer Squad leadership program is open to all girls, ages 14-18. This four week program from July 9 through August 2 focuses on a different aspect of sports each week. Girls may attend one week, multiple weeks, or all four weeks.

Participants will explore concepts of sports, health, and leadership through playing traditional and non-traditional sports, hands-on activities, interacting with professionals in various career fields, visiting local college campuses, and participating in small group work. Summer Squad members will be able to enhance their leadership capabilities by teaching healthy lifestyle workshops to younger girls at parks and community organizations.

Any girl who attends at least one week of the Summer Squad is invited to take part in the first ever Teen Overnight, August 2-3 at Camp Butternut Springs in Valparaiso, Indiana. During the Overnight teens will go canoeing, take a nature hike, have a cookout, and complete team building activities.
