Girls Create Summer Camps 2025

For over 10 years, we've been igniting the passions and talents of 6th to 10th grade girls and nonbinary youth in one-week camps in playwriting, comedy, fashion design & self-expression through art (aka Artfully Minded). Held in Denver’s Westwood Neighborhood, professionals teach, guest artists share expertise, and community mentors guide our campers to discover their voices, build confidence, and become agents of change—both within themselves and in the world around them. Girls Create amplifies the journey of creation, not just the final product, ensuring that every moment of learning and exploration is valued. Each week-long program culminates in a final weekly project for the community, including friends and family of the girls and non-binary youth, to experience their work. All Girls Create camps are in-person from 9am-3pm MT Monday-Friday at Blossom House in Denver. Girls Stand-Up, Girls Write, Girls Design Fashion, and Girls Artfully Minded seek to encourage girls and nonbinary youth to tap into their creativity, gain confidence, and do what they love.
