I would absolutely recommend BGR Queens camp to a friend. This is because I’ve gained so many sisters from all over the world. I’ve gained self-confidence and empowerment. I’ve learned that its not okay to settle for anything less than you want. I’ve gained all of the things needed to be a success in life and i would want my friend to become a better person and to experience all that I have experienced if no more.
The application deadline for the 2013-2014 academic year has passed. We will post the application back up over the summer for the 2014-2015 academic year.
