Hardy Days for 3rd and 4th Graders
Location: Hardy Girls Healthy Women 14 Common St. Waterville

Hardy Days is a unique, interactive summer program for girls in grades 3-6. The two session program will give girls the opportunity to meet with other girls from around the area and participate in hands-on, low cost activities. During the sessions girls will get to meet women who are defying gender stereotypes and challenging notions of what a girl or woman "should" do or be; participate in team-building games and learn skills such as public speaking; and learn to think critically about media images through art projects. Workshops will be lead by community volunteers (local artists and martial arts instructors), members of the Hardy Girls' Girls Advisory Board, and Hardy Girls' Director of Programs.

Hardy Days will be held July 13-16, 2009
12 pm. - 5 pm.

1st Session: 3rd-4th graders July 13 & 14

Sessions are $50 per girl and include healthy snacks and materials for all activities.
