SMM runs CampIns for Girl Scouts  (many museums do this)
We also have girls only camps, Camp Curie for Girls . We do two sessions of 
45 girls each summer for ages 6-9 year olds and one session for 10-13 year 
olds usually 20 register. Teachers can teach any area of science but must 
include the work of women scientists. We have local women scientists visit 
with the campers. These camps have been consistently popular since we 
started them in the early 90's
