▌ Editor's read The EmpowHer Social Justice STEAM Camp is a free day camp for middle and high school girls, focusing on STEAM education integrated with social justice themes. The camp is operated by EmpowHer Institute, a non-profit organization founded by Rashida Dunn-Streete, dedicated to empowering girls and young women.

While specific Google reviews for the camp itself were not readily available, EmpowHer Institute has a 4.9-star rating from 10 reviews on Google. The camp does not appear to be ACA accredited, nor does the website mention specific state licensing or staff-to-camper ratios. Social media handles found are @empowher_institute on Instagram and EmpowHerInstitute on Facebook. The program is clearly a day camp, and its non-profit status is evident from the organization's mission and 'About Us' page.
