Girls Rock Camp (GRC) is a week-long empowerment camp based on being in a band open to girls and nonbinary & trans youth ages 10-17. This year, it’s hybrid! Campers will learn about digital music production, form a band, write a song together, and create graphics to share on the big screen & under the stars at Becky's Drive-In. Campers will spend the week making new friends, attending educational workshops, and collaborating with volunteers to create music & art. No experience necessary!
Although music and art are major aspects of this program, GRC isn't a typical music camp. The week largely focuses on feminism and inclusion. We aim to build self-confidence and foster a sense of belonging while nurturing a supportive, encouraging environment. Many of our workshops & group activities include topics such as self-care, social justice, and community building.
Camp was held entirely online last year, but this summer, we’re offering two optional in-person days.
Full tuition for our hybrid version of Girls Rock Camp is $225.
