July 28 - Aug. 1

Join Vermont Works for Women for Rosie’s Girls BUILD Camp at the Center for Technology Essex, July 28 – August 1, 2025. Rosie’s Girls is our week-long STEM and career exploration summer day camp for middle school girls*.

At Rosie’s Girls BUILD, youth are introduced to carpentry and construction skills in a safe and supportive environment. In addition to hands-on trades learning, campers learn from our social and emotional curriculum known as “Power Skills” to help them navigate school, friendships, and societal issues. Camp also incorporates art, team building, and other fun and games.

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 welcomes into our program anyone who identifies as a girl regardless of assignment at birth. Our programs also welcome youth who are non-binary and gender-expansive who are comfortable in a girl-centered space.
