Overview

This is a casual, unstructured conversation among a small group about the experience of being a woman or someone socialized as a girl working in the camp industry. A few guiding questions are provided below to spark discussion. We recommend starting with the “First Question” to warm up the group!

First Question

  • Which women (or people with similar lived experience) that you know personally are your “SHEROs”?

    • SHERO = a hero with a “she” at the start

    • Describe their “superpowers” and why they inspire you
