2) Summer Camps for Girls
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) is offering three unique camps to young women grades 6 - 9. We believe young women attending these camps will gain valuable information on topics of leadership, team building, problem-solving skills, communication, STEM (science, math, engineering and technology) or environmental science. Local women executives, special guest speakers and faculty will mentor and share their expertise with your students during these camps.
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College is located just 10 minutes northwest of Terre Haute, Ind., and is listed among the top five percent of the best colleges in the Midwest by the US News and World Report's College Guide. Please visit us at www.smwc.edu and for more camp information for both boys and girls, visit www.smwc.edu/camp2014. See attached flyer for more info.
Thank you.
