Due to the popularity of Portland's Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls, (and just in time for the national release of Girls Rock! The Movie this spring) girls' rock camps are now sprouting up all over the country, including one opening in the Bay Area this summer! The Bay Area Girls Rock Camp will serve 25–40 girls between the ages of 8 and 18 and will take place at Julia Morgan School for Girls in Oakland from July 7 through 11, with the showcase on July 12. In addition to forming bands, writing songs together, and then performing in front of family and friends, campers will partake in workshops that will include songwriting, self-defense, zine-making, screenprinting, and more to be announced. Camper applications are due April 30. Contact them at info [at] bayareagirlsrockcamp [dot] org if you're interested in volunteering or donating space, money, or equipment. more ›
