    In addition to trades and technical learning, campers learn from our social and emotional curriculum known as “Power Skills” to help them navigate school, friendships, and societal issues.

    Our staff members create a safe space for youth to step outside their comfort zones, make new friends, and build confidence in exploring their passions. 

    Rosie’s Girls at The MINT is open to girls and gender-expansive youth who are entering 6th, 7th or 8th grade in the 2023-2024 school year.

    Tuition Cost: $400 for the full week.
