Camp S’MORE is TAKING UP SPACE for women and femmes across Sacramento! The S’MORE in Camp S’MORE tells the message to our program sistas that She is More Than Enough, more than a Stereotype or a Statistic. Our weekend youth camp retreat is designed to cultivate a safe, empowering and healing space for our sistas to explore storytelling and discover their own special leadership styles, learn how to advocate for their mental health, participate in healing practices and celebrate the power and magic of sisterhood.
Your amazing support allows us to remove financial barriers for our youth who need these spaces the most and make this life changing experience possible! Together, we can create opportunties for our sistas to TAKE UP SPACE, HEAL AND LEAD!
