The Beverly Hills Fire Department is launching its first Girls’ Empowerment Camp on Nov. 5-6, giving young women an opportunity to see firsthand what it takes to be a firefighter. The camp will feature hands-on exercises, drills and training over two days and is open to students in the ninth through 12th grades.

“This incredible camp, put on by our amazing Beverly Hills Fire Department, is exactly what is needed to show girls across our community and beyond that they can do anything and be anything they want to be,” Beverly Hills Mayor Lili Bosse said.

The camp will be held in-person at the Beverly Hills Fire Department, 445 N. Rexford Drive.

Registration for residents is $50 and opens on Friday, Oct. 7. Registration for non-residents is $63 and opens on Friday, Oct. 14. To register, visit beverlyhills.org/bhrec.
