Introducing GEAC, Girls Excel Academically - Cool!, a camp just for girls who want to cultivate their interests and develop passions for STEAM subjects in a safe, friendly and supportive environment only at the UCLA Summer Camp!   

GEAC is geared towards nurturing talented girls who love math, science and literature with an array of activities taught by an all-women faculty of seasoned professionals. With guidance from women in the STEAM-related fields (Science/Technology/Engineering/Arts/Mathematics), young women will gain the confidence to become the next generation of pioneers in the careers of their choice.  

Through expert-driven discussions and hands-on activities, the camp will give girls the space to share their core interests with like-minded peers and develop these interests into passions. Students will come away from the camp with new-found skills that will help them to excel in their school subjects, compete in various academic competitions and ultimately help prepare them for future career prospects.
