Zoey's
E-Pals Camp and Clubs
In
the spring of 2002, Mainely Girls and Zoey's Room announce the creation
of Zoey's E-Pals' Camp and Clubs, technology programming for middle-school-aged
girls. Zoey's E-Pals' Camp and Clubs were created to assure that girls
had an opportunity to reap the full benefits that former Governor King's
laptop computer initiative offered.
 At
the intensive one week Zoey's E-Pals' Camp at the College of the Atlantic
in Bar Harbor in August of 2002, 50 girls going into the 7th grade were
trained in the technology and leadership skills necessary to return to
their schools and establish Zoey's E-Pals' Club locally, in conjunction
with a tech-savvy adult woman in their school or community. Both the Camp
and Club received the endorsement of Maine's Governor Angus King.
