Femergy® Chica Summer Experience

Advancing Girls Through Sports, Leadership, Wellness, and Nature

The Femergy® Chica Summer Experience (FCSE) is a safe, structured summer enrichment program for middle and high school girls in Columbus, designed to support health and wellbeing, positive youth development, and career-connected skills. FCSE includes an overnight camp, community-based mini-clinics, and ongoing summer activities focused on sports exploration, physical activity, leadership development, and social-emotional learning.

Participants engage in wellness workshops addressing nutrition, stress management, confidence, teamwork, and decision-making. Throughout the summer, youth also have access to drop-in hours at the Femergy® Center, providing a safe space, mentorship, meals, hygiene products, clothing, and supportive services. All programming is provided at no cost, reducing barriers and promoting healthy, positive summer engagement for youth and families.
