Girls Rock Camp Austin: Where Girls Go to Rock!
What is Girls Rock Camp Austin?
Girls Rock Camp Austin is a summer day camp that offers musical instruction as well as a variety of workshops and performances in a positive, all-female environment intended to give girls the tools to succeed in music-related ventures, as well as in other fields of their choosing. The camp creates leadership opportunities, cultivates a supportive community of peers and mentors and encourages social change and the development of life skills.
Campers learn to play instruments of their choosing (guitars, drums, bass, keyboards, or vocals), form bands, write songs and perform live at a showcase at the end of the camp. They also attend workshops on women who rock, self-defense, images of girls and women in popular culture, the music business, rock writing and zine-making and more.
