Camp Brilliance is focused on art, activism, coalition building, and celebrating youth brilliance.

Over the course of the week, camp attendees will develop a social action project, learn about ways to make a positive change in their community, and get messy making art with artists from our incredible partners, Waterville Creates and the Colby Arts Office! Camp Brilliance is led by Hardy Girls staff, members of our Feminist Action Board (FAB), and trained adult volunteers.
