Eugene. OR – According to the officials, this visit, an integral part of the camp’s curriculum, focused not only on self-defense techniques but also on enhancing the physical confidence and strength of the young women attending.

Throughout the camp, staff members have been dedicated to providing opportunities for the campers to push their limits and achieve feats they hadn’t realized were possible.

This hands-on experience is designed to build a strong sense of accomplishment and self-assurance, qualities that will empower the campers as they pursue their future goals and dreams.

“We are grateful to the Eugene Police Department for their support and for helping us succeed today,” a camp representative said.

The collaboration underscores the importance of community support in fostering personal growth and safety skills among young women, preparing them to face challenges with confidence and resilience.
