Empowering young girls through sport.
Camp Lucy is a free 10-day learn-to-row camp for girls, inclusive of non-binary, trans, and gender non-conforming youth, that uses rowing as a way to learn social-emotional skills and life skills. Inspired by the legacy of Lucy Pocock, Camp Lucy uses fitness and interactive activities to help campers learn about themselves as individuals and as part of a greater team. As Camp Lucy participants learn to try new things, they will gain an "I Can Do That!" mentality, and recognize the many ways that they are strong, powerful, supported, and brave!
The goal of Camp Lucy is to use rowing to show young women how awesome they are, and to create sisterhood and autonomy in a boathouse setting.
Camp Lucy is for middle school-aged girls, particularly girls of color and/or those facing socio-economic barriers to rowing participation.
Camp Lucy program activities are the best fit for students who will be rising 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, however, we encourage graduating 8th graders who are excited about the program and identify with the demographic for whom we hope to create access to register! Our primary goal is to reach youth who would uniquely benefit from this type of opportunity.
Lunch, snacks, and a Camp Lucy t-shirt are provided for all campers, and transportation and gear support is available!
Camp Lucy is an inclusive space and welcomes non-binary, trans, and gender non-conforming youth.
If you have any questions about if your student would thrive at Camp Lucy, reach out to camplucy@pocockfoundation.org.
