Description
Camp Congress for Youth New Haven 2025 is a leadership program that introduces girls and boys to the United States political system. Camp begins with a lesson on the structure of our political system. Each student will choose to run for a seat in the US House of Representatives, the US Senate or for the presidency. Students will create a campaign with a platform, campaign finance plan, and film a political ad. All campers 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. Camp will culminate with a ceremonial signing of the bill by our President. All participants will receive Certificate of Completion. Participating Girl Scouts qualify to earn a GS badge, badge not provided.
