Smart Girls Have More Fun

We live in a society that sometimes struggles to provide girls with positive role models.  Certain pressures can force young girls to try and become something that they are not simply to fit in.  Girls think they need to be prettier, richer, skinnier, smarter, quieter, louder — the list goes on and on.  The point is, we never feel like the person we are is good enough because we’ve been told over and over that we’re not.  This is why when I heard about Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls at the Party program I was so excited.  The motto for Amy’s program is “Change the world by being yourself.”  How refreshing.  Check out the episode below of Smart Girls in which Amy highlights the cool things about being outdoors, something we care a lot about at camp!

Kudos to Amy Poehler for letting girls know that not only are they OK as they are, but that by being themselves, they are exceptional.
