The popular Girl Power Camp returns this summer but in a new location – Monroe High School.  Girl Power Camp, which had been held at Arborwood Elementary School, runs Monday, June 29 through Friday, July 24, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.

     “Having the camp at Monroe High School gives our girls so many advantages,” said Mrs. Sue Sacks who has operated the program for all of the nearly 20 years it has been in existence.  “Monroe High has a pool, a stage, a lot of space for our class, it is air-conditioned, and our campers will receive free lunches each day.”

     The camp staff includes peer educators, a school social worker, a theater arts specialist and Mrs. Sacks as director.

     The camp provides a snack and lunches daily, field trips every Friday and fun while students learn about themselves and others.  Among the scheduled activities are swimming, games, arts and crafts, life skills, cooking, theater/plays, a talent show, field trips and more. 

     The camp is open to all girls going into fifth through the seventh grades.  To register or for more information, call 734-265-3538.  An entry form must be filled out.  They are available at Monroe High School, 901 Herr Rd., and the Monroe Public Schools Administration Building, 1275 N. Macomb St.
