Girls Rock! DC is a one-week day camp for girls age 8-18, culminating in a performance showcase of campers' original songs to be held at the 9:30 Club. The non-profit camp is sponsored through the Washington Peace Center, and will be staffed by local teachers and volunteers.

We need volunteers for the week of camp from August 10-15, 2009 (instrument instructors, workshop facilitators, band coaches, cooks/support staff, roadies).

With a base in music education, Girls Rock! DC aims to create a supportive, inclusive and creative space for girls to develop their self-confidence, build community, stand up and rock out!  We offer small-group instrument instruction based on skill level in electric guitar, electric bass, drum kit, keyboard, turntables, vocals. While learning an instrument, campers will also form bands and collaborate to write and perform an original song.

In addition to building musical skills, the camp will focus on building girls' self-confidence, leadership and cooperation skills.  We also offer workshops on gender and cultural identity, making your own band merchandise, band promotion and business, conflict resolution, effective communication, self-defense, and other skills young women need to take over the world (of rock!)

Remember, the future of rock is in your hands!
