About this Event

Camp Congress for Girls Albany NY 2024 is a leadership program that introduces girls to U.S. politics and civic engagement. Camp begins with a lesson on the structure of our political system. Each girl will choose to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives, the US Senate or for the presidency. She will create her own campaign with a platform, campaign finance plan, and film a political ad. All campers will register to vote and then vote in an election. Once elected to Congress and sworn in, the newly installed members of Congress will learn how to introduce a bill, debate the merits of the bill, lobby fellow legislators, collaborate with the Executive branch and finally vote on the proposed bill. Camp will culminate with a ceremonial signing of the bill by our Ms. President. All participants will receive Certificate of Completion.

Tickets available for girls ages 8-11 and for girls ages 12-17. For additional information contact us at +1 866-226-5911 extension 1, via email at [email protected] or visit our website at www.girlsinpolitics.com.
