We offer a pretty spectacular sleep away summer music, arts and self esteem boosting program for preteen/teen girls hosted at Ojai Valley High School and are trying to get the word out about all that we do. We specialize in music, photography and film making and journalism. We partner with local and some non-local newspapers and magazines (last year the girls articles and photos were published in Elle Magazine) and give girls the opportunity to get professional writing and photo credits (an amazing boost for their college applications and careers). Our program also exposes kids to wonderful mentors in these 3 fields who come from all over the world to work with us. We’ve had everyone from Pink to Editors at Rolling Stone. We offer financial aid for all our programs and it’s our policy that no girl is turned away for lack of funds.
