Special Events
The Women's Park hosts events and activities throughout the year that encourage dialogue and discussion around topics central to women. The most prominent and historically significant feature at the park is a time capsule, buried beneath a large rock of native oolitic limestone. A bronze plaque honoring the park’s founders and the anniversary of women’s right to vote is inscribed on top. The time capsule contains hundreds of items celebrating the work and accomplishments of the women of Miami-Dade County and beyond. The time capsule was buried in Dec. 1992 as part of the official dedication ceremony of The Women’s Park. It will be opened in 2021, on the 101st anniversary of the passage the 19th Amendment when women achieved the right to vote.

Girls Empowerment and Mentoring (G.E.M.) Summer Arts Camp

G.E.M. is a six-week camp of inclusive learning of fine arts and leadership. It offers art-active involvement experiences and cultural projects through structured and fun learning activities designed especially for young women ages 6-14.

G.E.M.’s leadership enrichment program has given Miami-Dade County Parks the opportunity to provide a multi-faceted arts program offering an array of workshops in visual, performance and language arts, environmental science and leadership development.

Studies in journalism and women’s history will focus on the challenges and accomplishments of all women, past and present. Participants learn from professional artists and educators sharing their passion for the arts. G.E.M. culminates with a Summer Arts Showcase and Arts Exhibition featuring the G.E.M. girls, giving them a chance to show the artistic talents they have honed and to feel a sense of accomplishment.

G.E.M. Summer Arts Camp challenges and inspires students to develop and improve self-esteem, leadership, and artistic skills. G.E.M. girls immerse themselves in the artistic energy and creativity that converge in this innovative and inclusive program. It is the connection of young girls and success, and the arts make it possible.

WE are Miami-Dade County Parks, and the 2021 G.E.M. Summer Arts Camp is the showcase where our G.E.M. girls shine!

The G.E.M. Summer Arts Camp takes place at:

• The Women's Park
