About this event

2 hours 30 minutes

As girls grow up, it can feel more and more difficult for adults to connect with them. One day she’s bold and talkative, the next she’s distant and withdrawn. Between school stressors and social media pressures, she needs support to handle life’s challenges. Understandably, the communication gap between girls and adults can make being there for her in the ways that she needs a challenge. You deserve support, and so does she.

Join Ruling Our eXperiences (ROX) for a fun and empowering morning for girl dads and their daughters, grades 6-8, to strengthen connection and communication.

With the guidance of a licensed counselor, girls will get to connect with other girls and talk about what it means to “find their voice." Meanwhile, the adults will learn simple strategies for empowering and communicating with their girls. The experience will culminate in a “safe archery” lesson and target practice with female trainers from the ODNR Division of Wildlife. (No previous experience required.)
