About this Event

Camp Congress for Girls DC 2025 featuring a Day on Capitol Hill is a week-long political leadership summer camp. The week includes a day at the United States Capitol. While on Capitol Hill students will tour the Capitol, *visit the House & Senate galleries, meet with a member of Congress and a visit to the Library of Congress. Students also visit the National Archives to view the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence before heading over to the National Museum of American History. Additional outings include visits to the **White House, Washington Monument, Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Museum of the Native American and Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Scheduled guest speakers include professionals working in the electoral politics and government. The outings are paired with our Camp Congress for Girls classroom curriculum which begins with a lesson on the structure of our political system.

During camp each student 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 slogan, campaign fundraising appeal and record a short campaign ad. All students will register to vote and participate in our Camp Congress for Girls election. Once elected to Congress and sworn in, the newly installed members of Congress will learn how to introduce a bill, research issues, debate the merits of the bill, lobby fellow legislators, collaborate with the Executive branch and finally vote on the proposed bill. All students will be serving as a member of the House or Senate during the congressional session. Camp will culminate with a ceremonial signing of the bill by our Ms. President.

All students earn a Certificate of Completion. Girl Scouts attending Camp Congress for Girls DC 2025 will also earn a Girl Scout citizen or democracy badge. The camp fee includes two GIP logo t-shirt, snacks and materials used for classroom activities. For additional information email us at [email protected] or call our office at +1 866-226-5911 ext 1.
