Camp GLOW – Girls Leading Our World - is taking place this year across the Kingdom.
Camp GLOW Tonga is a weeklong sleep-away camp that is comprised of six camps held in four island groups. There will be four Girls’ Camps that focus on ninth graders who have displayed academic excellence and leadership potential, and two Young Women’s Camps to benefit school-leavers between the ages of 18 and 21.
The camps are designed to empower their participants by advocating a healthy lifestyle; providing vital information on sensitive topics; teaching leadership and team-building skills; encouraging critical thinking and logical decision-making; building a network of motivated girls and women; and fostering self-confidence and creative expression through a fun, safe, judgment-free environment.
Camp GLOW is currently looking for sponsorship. The project is being jointly administered by The Ministry for Training, Employment, Youth and Sports (MOTEYS) and the US Peace Corps Volunteers.
