Madam President Camp We are a leadership day camp for girls ages 11-13. We build confident, self determined, kind, creative leaders!

This non-partisan program will teach the campers about leadership, team building, negotiation and the power in having a diverse network of support. Following the camp, each girl will be linked to a mentor who will continue to nurture her interest in politics as she grows into a young women. Over time, camp graduates will create a growing network of politically savvy, confident young women who unde

The impact of camp doesn’t end when the week does. 💜

One of our favorite parts of Madam President Camp is hearing from parents about the changes they’ve noticed in their campers since attending camp.

Parents have shared that their girls are:

✨ More confident in who they are and what they have to say
🗣️ More willing to speak up and share their ideas and perspectives
🌎 More aware of their communities and the issues and current events happening around them

These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do. At MPC, girls aren’t just learning about leadership—they’re building the confidence, communication skills and civic awareness to use their voices and make an impact.

The week may be over, but the leadership journey is just beginning. 💜

This summer, campers learned that their words have power. 💖

Through a meaningful activity, campers created hearts filled with words that help them feel included, supported, and valued. From kindness and encouragement to friendship and belonging, these words served as a reminder that what we say can make a difference.

Because sometimes, a few powerful words can help someone feel like they truly belong. ❤️

This summer, we were so grateful to have UMB volunteers join us at Madam President Camp! 💙

Associates from the UMB Women’s Business Resource Group volunteered at both Northland Career Center and the Truman Library, bringing their time, energy, and leadership to our campers. From hosting a panel discussion and helping campers create vision boards to making ballots for our famous 🍪 Cookies vs. 🍦 Ice Cream debate, they jumped right in and helped make camp even more memorable!

Thank you, UMB, for investing in the next generation of leaders and helping our campers learn, grow, and use their voices. We appreciate you! 💙

Learn More. Speak Up. Get Involved. 📣

On Day 4 of Madam President Camp, campers focused on Civic Engagement and discovered how they can make a difference in their communities.

Through activities and conversations, campers explored three important ways to be civically engaged:

📚 Learn More — Understand the issues and what is happening in your community.
🗣️ Speak Up — Use your voice to share your ideas and advocate for what matters to you.
🙌 Get Involved — Take action and find ways to make a difference.

Civic engagement isn't just about the future—it starts with learning, using your voice, and taking action today. We're proud to help our campers see that their voices matter! 💙

This summer at Madam President Camp, our campers explored three main leadership styles: Trait, Behavioral, and Situational Leadership! 🌟

Through activities, discussions, and self-discovery, campers learned that leadership isn't one-size-fits-all. They explored the traits that can make someone a strong leader, how a leader's actions and behaviors impact others, and how great leaders can adapt their approach based on the situation.

Most importantly, they had the chance to reflect on which leadership style felt most like their strength. 💪

Because leadership starts with knowing yourself—and understanding how you can use your strengths to lead others.

This summer, we didn't just teach leadership—we helped girls discover what's possible when they believe in themselves.

Throughout camp, our campers practiced communication, problem-solving, collaboration, and confidence—the same skills that help tomorrow's entrepreneurs turn ideas into action. Whether they choose to start a business, lead a team, or make a difference in their community, they are building a foundation that will serve them for years to come.

The future needs bold leaders, innovative thinkers, and young women who aren't afraid to create something new. We can't wait to see where their leadership journey takes them.

✨ Meet one of our incredible Madam President Camp speakers: Mindy Brissey! ✨

This week, Mindy challenged our campers to think about something powerful: your story is your superpower. 💙

Drawing from her own story of leadership as a Presidential Appointee serving as Regional Administrator for the U.S. Small Business Administration, along with her experience as a political consultant and small business owner, Mindy shared how every experience, challenge, and success shapes who we are—and how embracing your personal story can help you become a more confident and effective leader.

Our campers left inspired to embrace what makes them unique and to recognize that their voices and experiences matter. 🌟

Thank you, Mindy, for encouraging the next generation of leaders to find confidence in their own stories. We loved having you at Madam President Camp! 👏💜

✨ Another inspiring speaker at Madam President Camp: Representative Emily Weber! ✨

Our campers had the opportunity to hear from Missouri State Representative Emily Weber about her journey—from growing up in rural Kansas 🌾 to attending the Kansas City Art Institute 🎨 and eventually finding her path in public service.

Emily shared that leadership journeys aren’t always a straight line. Sometimes the experiences that make us different are the very things that prepare us to make a difference. 💜

By sharing her story and the twists and turns that led her into politics, Emily reminded our campers that they don’t have to have everything figured out today. They can explore their passions, embrace new opportunities, and create their own path forward. 🌟

Thank you, Emily, for showing our campers that there are many ways to lead—and that courage, curiosity, and authenticity can take you farther than you ever imagined. 👏

Financial literacy doesn't have to be boring! 🎉

A huge thank you to WIFS for joining us at Madam President Camp and making money conversations fun and engaging. Through an interactive game of bingo, our campers learned important financial terms and gained confidence in understanding concepts that will serve them for years to come.

Learning about finances is an important part of becoming a confident leader, and we're grateful to WIFS for helping our girls build a strong foundation for their future. 💜
