The Girl Scouts of Western Oklahoma announces the nation’s first Urban STE(A)M Girl Scout camp, just east of the Oklahoma City Zoo. STE(A)M, or STEM, refers to units of study that combine ideas and skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, (the Arts), and Mathematics. The camp, called Camp Trivera, is set to open in the Fall of 2020 and will sit on 17 acres on a woodland site leased by Oklahoma City.
According to an article by Jana Allen in The Oklahoman, "The campground will feature nature trails, a STEM lab, an amphitheater, waterfront activities, a sports court donated by the OKC Thunder, a zip line across the lake into the zoo and a zero entry swimming pool." Linda Whittington is the co-chairman of the Camp Trivera capital campaign, and Farooq Karim, vice president of REES Architecture and overseer of the project. Whittington said to The Oklahoman: "Our camp will be unique. The first of its kind in the United States of America, and one that introduces girls to the outdoors, and at the same time provides challenges for more experienced campers."
