Campers, ages
7-13, come from over 30 Chicago communities -- from diverse ethnic,
racial and family backgrounds. In addition to an array of team sports
and individual fitness activities, girls learn about smart eating,
girls' health, leadership, teamwork and conflict resolution. New
activities this year include orienteering, water-polo, wall-climbing
and boating! Special opportunities include clinics with the Chicago Sky
and the Chicago Blackhawks as well as celebrity interactions with Julie
Foudy, Candice Dupree, among other women involved with the Olympics
and/or professional sports. Stay tuned for more "campfire stories" in
the August newsletter. To receive our newsletter, please e-mail us at info@girlsinthegame.org.
