GR!C is for girls, trans (of any identity), and gender-expansive youth ages 8-16. Camp week consists of instrument lessons (drums, electric bass or guitar, keyboard, or DJ/Turntables), forming bands, writing original songs, and attending workshops. We welcome all skill levels and musical backgrounds and campers can enroll in both sessions!

We will be moving everything to the school and setting up for camp the weekend before both sessions. On the Saturday after camp we will be packing everything up and moving out of the school.

About Girls Rock! Chicago

Location:

1530 W. Superior St., Chicago, IL 60642, US

Mission Statement

Girls Rock! Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering girls’ creative expression, self-esteem and community awareness through music. Through our music education programs for girls ages 8 to 16, we are committed to educating girls about the musical, technical, and creative aspects involved in musicianship, because we believe that young girls are rarely encouraged to explore self-expressive creative outlets and are less likely to be given access to musical and technical instruction or equipment. We believe that rock music can be a crucial tool in allowing young women to respond to preconceived notions of what they can do and what they can become.

Description

Our week-long summer camp program is organized around motivating girls ages 8 to 16 through instrument instruction, music composition coaching, recording workshops, song-writing workshops, hands-on activities, technical equipment workshops, guest speakers, team-building activities and band performances. We seek to provide positive and supportive role models for campers though interaction and participation by volunteers who will share their experiences as women involved in some form of making music.

We believe in maintaining an emphasis on accessibility to ensure that girls have access to equipment and instruction regardless of their socio-economic background, race, ethnicity, or neighborhood. Our application is based on a sliding-scale tuition and no one is turned away for lack of funding.
