Camp
Join us for an inspiring summer exploring the possibilities of STEM through dance starting in Spring 2025.
Overview
Camp is STEM From Dance’s three-week summer program designed for girls to explore the exciting world of STEM. Each day is jampacked with dance to get participants moving and to supercharge their STEM skills. By the end of the program, participants will showcase what they’ve learned in a performance that merges dance and technology – all created by them and their fellow participants. Camp is an opportunity for girls of all backgrounds to level up their confidence, unlock new STEM abilities, and connect with a supportive tribe of like-minded creatives and technologists.

Give the Gift of STEM
Camp is provided free of charge so that cost isn't a barrier to any family. The true value of a girl participating in our summer program is up to $2,000. We're able to provide this program at no cost because of the generous contributions of our supporters.
We invite you to donate to support girls nationwide in exploring STEM. Consider giving a gift of $20, $200, $2,000, or any size meaningful to you. Your gift will go towards providing a girl with everything she needs to explore the interconnection of STEM and dance.

We understand that illness cannot be avoided and we will work with your child to catch them up. We ask that parents inform their Site Leader if their child is out due to illness.
Site Leaders are the administrators at each site, similar to a principal at your child’s school. They oversee the day to day operations and will serve as your point of contact once the program begins.
All supplies needed to participate fully, plus a Camp t-shirt, will be provided. Students only need to come in comfortable clothes for dancing.
