Girls Rock! DC (http://www.girlsrockdc.org/) aims to create a supportive, inclusive and creative space for girls to develop their self-confidence, build community, stand up and rock out!
Girls Rock! builds upon their diverse musical backgrounds, connections to local youth and approaches to grassroots organizing to create a week-long day camp for Washington, D.C. area girls ages 8-18.
This year, Girls Rock! DC will be held from
Monday, August 8 – Friday August 12, from 9am – 5:30pm daily. Camp will be held at Mary McLeod Bethune Public Charter School (http://www.mmbethunepcs.org/home2.html), located at
1404 Jackson St., NE, Washington, DC 20017.
During the week, campers receive small-group instruction on electric guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, turntables, digital music, or vocals; form bands and collaborate to write an original song or DJ set, which they will perform at a showcase at the end of the week.
Campers will also learn about the history of women in rock, gender and cultural identity, band merchandise and promotion, conflict resolution and other skills young women need to take over the world of music!
Applications are due by June 10, 2011 and can be found here: http://www.girlsrockdc.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/GRDC_CamperApplication2011.pdf.
