About the camp:
The Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls' mission is to encourage, engage, and
showcase the musical, artistic and individual talents of girls and young
women ages 8-18. The Camp fosters girls' expression through
-musical education and technical instruction;
-forums to discuss and explore creativity and self-expression;
-providing role models and examples to promote motivation, self-reliance,
and empowerment through music.
The week-long, day camp program culminates with a showcase on Saturday evening, the last night of camp. Here campers perform live on stage with
their newly formed rock bands.
Sadly, the R&R Camp for Girls had to postpone camp until Winter 2004 due to financial difficulties.
This community is for the explicit purpose of generating interest in fundraising for the Camp by either setting up shows in your area, going to shows or playing a show for one night in December to help benefit the camp.
