The Dirt Divas summer camp in Morrisville sounds tough and gritty - and it is. For a week, girls 11 to 15 hone their mountain biking skills with trail riding and obstacle courses and hard core maintenance. But the camp also teaches lessons that will help them even when they're not on a bike.

VPR's Sarah Ashworth recently visited the camp, as the girls were just getting ready to start their final day.

Update:  The Dirt Divas program has been renamed Girls Move Mountains.  For more information, email nadine@girlsmovemountains.org
