Operation SMART: Girls have fun making gooey experiments, build rockets, play with bugs, and figure out how things work.

Sporting Chance: Girls play new and innovative games, develop sports-related skills, participate in daily physical activity, and learn about healthy food choices.

Media & Me: Girls tackle the influence of negative media messages and images, helping them think critically about what they see and hear, developing positive body image and self-esteem.
