The Rosie's Girls will be visiting Mountain Hardwear tomorrow 9am & 12!
During a three-week summer camp, 6th - 8th grade girls learn about and apply skills in carpentry, welding, fire fighting, horticulture and other technical trades. The curriculum includes creative expression such as mask making and journaling. Participants engage in a ropes course, self-defense and other fun physical challenges. "A Girl's World" activities allow the girls to explore issues such as gender roles, body image and social pressure. Because Richmond is the site of the Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park, the girls learn about that legacy first- hand by meeting with local heroes, and working in historic settings. All the girls work together on a community service project for a local organization.
