Thank you so much for your interest in leading a workshop at the sixth annual Girls Rock Camp!

We are so excited for you to bring your knowledge and positive message to the fun week of camp that we have planned.

Girls Rock Camp is a week-long empowerment camp based on being in a rock band open to girls + trans and nonbinary youth ages 10-17. Campers will learn how to play an instrument, form a band, write an original song together, and then perform their song at a *real* concert for their family, friends, and future fans. It's so much FUN! Campers will spend the week making new friends, attending educational workshops, and collaborating with local women + trans and nonbinary folks to create music and art. We welcome campers of all skill levels, from “I’ve never even seen a bass!” to “check out this sweet drum solo!”

Although music and art are major aspects of this program, Girls Rock Camp is *not* a 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 and group activities include topics such as self-care, social justice, and community building.

THIS YEAR'S THEME:
ROOTED & GROWING | The curriculum will be focused on building a strong foundation of values and being patient with ourselves & others while we become who we are in this ever-changing world. <3 Your workshop should relate to the theme.

LOGISTICS:
This year's GRC is July 15th-20th at Christ Church UCC in Bethlehem. You will have either a morning or afternoon slot on one day, and you'll present an identical workshop to two different groups of campers back-to-back. We will work with you to schedule your slot during a time that is most convenient for your schedule.
