Girls age 7 + learn computer science and engineering fundamentals through a series of unique projects and hands-on challenges. Boolean Girl camps have been recognized multiple times as “Best Camps” by our campers, as well as by regional media outlets.

Boolean Girl will again host in-person camps for summer 2022. In 2021 we ran camps all summer without any COVID exposures. With your help, our camps will again implement all recommended safety measures, including masks and social distancing. If camps close due to COVID, we will refund your tuition. If you change your mind about in-person camps, we offer other options. To read more about our COVID response in 2021, click here.
FRIDAY AT BOOLEAN GIRL CAMPS
On Fridays we celebrate our discoveries and achievements. We bring in lunch and show off our work. The girls show their projects and explain how they made it work.
ROCK STAR INSTRUCTORS
We hate to brag but our instructors are rock stars. They are students in some of the best engineering and computer science programs around the country. During camp they share their STEM journey stories, mentor the girls and are great role models.
We also hire local high school students to help out at camps. Many of these girls were Boolean Girls when they were at Arlington elementary schools and now attend Arlington High Schools or Thomas Jefferson High School. They are great role models and love talking about their experiences and STEM stories and college plans.
BEFORE AND AFTER CARE
Before and after care options are available. View details and make your selections during registration.
