Aspire Academy

Registration is now open for the next Aspire Academy that will be hosted by Gilbert Police and Gilbert Fire & Rescue from March 13-16. This hands on resident camp allows girls ages 14 to 18 to participate in a variety of activities which build leadership, self confidence, and respected through teamwork.

Aspire Academy gives girls the opportunity to experience firefighting, emergency operations techniques and law enforcement operations while connecting with women currently in the professions, as well as other women working in non-traditional roles. Girls will gear up and work alongside the elite women from Central Arizona’s fire and police services, learning the value of fitness, rappelling, climbing a 100-foot ladder truck, investigating crime scenes, and riding with driving instructors in a high-speed obstacle course!
