It has a long history around the world, starting in Romania in 1995. This camp, generally for all girls, focuses on empowerment activities including health education, life skills, career goals, sports, creative arts and women in leadership roles. This is the first-ever Camp GLOW in Uganda. Approximately 150 girls (ages 13-15) will attend from all over the country. The camp will be run by Peace Corps Volunteers, along with Ugandan female counterparts, who will be counselors to the girls for the week-long camp. We are also inviting a number of Ugandan female guest speakers to talk with the girls and inspire them to work hard, continue their education and explore the many possible career options available to both males and females in Uganda.
