January – June, 2021
Summit Sisters
Summit Sisters is a five-month leadership, fitness and empowerment program for high school girls in Lee and Collier County. Girls will meet twice weekly. The first meeting of the week alternates between leadership training and integrated fitness. The second weekly meeting is fitness focused.
The program will begin the week of January 25, 2021 and culminate with a 7-day backpacking expedition to Southwest Montana in June. Girls can apply for either our Naples, Ft. Myers or Virtual program. Please select which program you are applying for on the application.
The multi-day expedition will focus on teaching girls fundamental outdoor skills such as cooking, camping and navigation while developing leadership skills as an individual and member of an expeditionary group. Participants will be challenged physically and mentally while hiking most days with heavy packs in a changing alpine environment. While navigating through mountain terrain, girls will engage in lessons about Leave No Trace® camping principles and learn how to work as a team to accomplish common expedition goals.
