an initiative of Tabula Rasa Domestic Violence, Inc.
At Tabula Rasa Domestic Violence, Inc., we believe that youth are not only the future — they are the right now. That’s why we created the TeenSpeakUp Youth Empowerment Summer Camp — a dynamic, trauma-informed experience where teens find their voice, build their confidence, and learn to recognize and prevent dating violence.
What is TeenSpeakUp Summer Camp?
The TeenSpeakUp Summer Camp is a 5-week immersive empowerment camp for teens ages 12–18 living in Prince George’s County and Montgomery County, Maryland. Designed as part of our TeenSpeakUp Youth Empowerment Program, this camp blends education, healing, leadership, and creative expression to help teens break the silence around abuse and build a brighter, violence-free future.
What Campers Will Experience:
✔️ Safe, supportive space to share and grow
✔️ Interactive workshops on healthy relationships, consent, and boundaries
✔️ Peer-led sessions and leadership development activities
✔️ Expressive arts, journaling, and group reflection
✔️ Empowerment panels and guest speakers
✔️ Team-building and community impact projects
Our trauma-informed staff and trained youth mentors are passionate about creating a powerful environment of trust, resilience, and transformation.
Why It Matters
Teen dating violence is a silent epidemic affecting youth of all backgrounds. Many teens don’t know where to turn or how to identify unhealthy relationship patterns. This camp gives them the tools and community they need to rise above fear, isolation, and silence — and become advocates for themselves and others.
