Step into a world of learning, creativity, and achievement at Badge University! This special program is designed for girls who want to earn badges that can be tricky to complete outside of a camp setting. Through hands-on activities, expert guidance, and fun, interactive sessions, girls will explore new skills, dive into exciting topics, and complete requirements for badges that might otherwise take weeks or months. From STEM challenges to outdoor skills, arts and crafts, and more, Badge University makes learning an adventure. Girls will be able to choose their own badge “courses” to take and will earn two to three badges within the weekend.(Badge availability subject to change based on interest)
