Registration for Girls Rock! Rhode Island’s third Girls Rock Camp opened today, on Sunday, April 1st. The camp will be held Monday, July 9 through Friday, July 13, 2012 at the Rhode Island Philharmonic’s Carter Center at 667 Waterman Ave., East Providence.
During the intensive, five-day camp experience, girls aged 11 to 18 take lessons in guitar, bass, drums, vocals or keyboards, form a band and collaborate on an original song. In addition, campers participate in workshops on topics such as media literacy, gender issues, body image, self-defense and screen printing. During the camp, girls will have the opportunity to work with professional female musicians who serve as both instructors and mentors. The culmination of camp is a showcase performance in which the new bands perform their original songs for a live audience of family and friends.
