It's all bonding and politics at our Daughter and Mother Camp Congress for Girls NYC 2025. This fun, interactive camp introduces girls and moms to the United States political system. Each student will choose to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives, the US Senate or for the presidency with her mother serving as campaign manager. Together, daughter and mother will create a political campaign with a platform, campaign slogan, campaign finance plan, campaign marketing materials and a political ad for television. All campers and moms will register to vote and then vote in an election. Once elected to Congress and sworn in, the newly installed members of Congress will learn how to introduce a bill, debate the merits of the bill, lobby fellow legislators, collaborate with the Executive branch and finally vote on the proposed bill. Moms will serve as House, Senate and White House aides assisting daughters in their work. Camp will culminate with a ceremonial signing of the bill by our Ms. President. 

Registrants will also receive a Certificate of Completion, GIP shirt and GIP treat bag. 20 tickets available for each age group, ages 8-11 and ages 12-17. Each ticket covers one student and one adult participant. For additional information contact us at +1 866-277-2123 extension 1, via email at info@girlsinpolitics.com or visit our website at www.girlsinpolitics.com.
