"Women are the primary resource of the planet. They give birth, we come from them.
They are mothers, they are visionaries, they are the future.
If we can figure out how to make women feel safe and honor women,
it would be parallel or equal to honoring life itself."
-
Eve Ensler



"I celebrate myself, I sing myself!" - Whitman


Welcome to the official campsite of Mighty Girl Art ™!

Mighty Girl Art™ is an art empowerment workshop for girls (and moms). In the summer we gather in a 30 foot modern Tipi located on a beautiful vista in Northern Virginia. In the winter we meet in the cozy art studio.

Mission:

We live in a society where a girl's self confidence is challenged daily by an assault of images which suggest that they are somehow not good enough the way they are. Mighty Girl Art™ empowers young girls to feel good about themselves through a series of projects that fosters creativity and nurtures self-esteem.

Here you will find photos and stories, as well as information about how to join the Mighty Girl Brigade...

2011 Mighty Intern

Dear Mighty Girls,
It is my great pleasure to introduce our 2011 Mighty Intern...






















My name is Ann Schindler and I am a graduate of South Lakes High School. In my free time, I love practicing Pilates, writing, playing my cello, and exploring the many farmers markets, museums, and festivals around Reston and Washington, D.C. Soon I will be attending Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts. I see striking similarities between Mount Holyoke and Mighty Girl, in that they are both small, intimate communities of girls/women. Such communities have really led me to grow both intellectually and creatively. I am very excited to be a part of the Mighty Girl community for Summer 2011.
