Rock n' Roll Camp for Girls San Diego
Empowering Girls And Non-binary Youth Through Music
EMPOWERING WORKSHOPS & MORE!
We kick off each day in a rock star celebration with high energy, hilarious and empowering skits by our talented and dedicated mentors we call the “Skittles”. Then campers head to daily workshops that build skills that encourage self-expression. Examples of workshops are Songwriting, Self-Defense, Silk Screening T-shirts, “Her”story of Rock, Body Image & Identity, Media Literacy , Drum Circle, Community Impact, Zine Making, and more!
LUNCHTIME PERFORMANCES
At lunchtime, local bands join the campers for music and inspiration. To strengthen visibility of female artists on a variety of instruments, we require bands be female-majority in make-up. The campers just might even see their own band coach rockin' out!

INSTRUMENT INSTRUCTION & BAND COACHING
Campers choose an instrument to play: vocals, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, or drums. They receive instruction from experienced female mentors daily. We provide the instruments or bring your own electric guitar, electric bass guitar or electric keyboard (upon approval).
Campers form a new band the first day and begin working together to name the band, make a logo for their band, write an original song together, and rock out! They are mentored by band coaching teams of inspirational female musicians and singer-songwriters.
WHO CAN APPLY FOR CAMP?
While our programming is guided by the experiences of girls 8 to 17 years of age, we are committed to creating an inclusive environment that supports and welcomes a wide range of gender identities and expressions. We welcome girls, trans, and gender nonconforming participants. There is no musical experience necessary.
