Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls
We put the ‘AMP’ in CAMP! It’s all about not being afraid to speak up, sing out, and make noise: The Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls is a Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit organization devoted to building girls' self-esteem through music creation and performance. Proving that music is a girl's turf too, the Camp provides workshops and training, creates leadership opportunities, cultivates a supportive community of awesome peers and mentors, and encourages social change and the expansion of skills that will keep you rockin’ through life. We believe that by teaching these things, we can help girls develop—musically, mentally, and emotionally—toward their own ideas of who and what they want to be. Since opening in 2001, the Camp has grown like crazy into a year-round program with three summer sessions—and now there are girls' rock camps all across the country and the world.
The Camp depends on the generosity of people like you—bring rock 'n' roll to girls everywhere and donate today!
Come jam at the movies! Chronicle Books is pumped to help support our friends at Girls Rock! Productions in the release of their new movie, Girls Rock!
Welcome to a place where it is 100% okay to be exactly who you are. Meet Laura, an adopted Korean girl from Oklahoma obsessed with death metal; Palace, a sweet-seeming 8-year-old with a heavy metal sneer and "rawk" heart; and Amelia, who writes songs about her Chihuahua Pippi and loves "crazy noise music." These are the faces of The Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls, and Girls Rock! is the movie about their empowering journey. Sit back and watch (and listen!) as these girls achieve goals they never thought possible. Through video diaries, camp week footage, interviews, and animations, you will rock—and transform—right along with the girls. It's like a summer full of Rock Camp all rolled into one night, so tune up and tune in!
