ALL ABOUT CAMP

Girls Rock Denver's Summer Rock Camp is a day camp where girls, trans, and gender-expansive youth ages 8-17 explore empowerment and collaboration through music. In just one week, campers learn how to play an instrument (drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, or vocals), form a band within their age group, and write an original song they perform at the Saturday showcase. 
​
We have limited spots available at camp in each age group and instrument track. Most years, we
receive more applications than we can accommodate. Admission is based on a combination of need,
age, and instrument choice. Applicants who are not admitted will be put on a wait list and offered
additional spots if they become available.

A few things we're passionate about:

• We strive to make our programs accessible and prior music experience is not required
• We provide, maintain, and set up musical instruments to ensure every camper can participate and focus on having fun and making music
• We encourage every camper and volunteer to be fully engaged in activities, rather than being on their devices

​

GRD STAFF & VOLUNTEERS

All Girls Rock Denver staff and volunteers undergo an annual background check. Instrument instruction is taught by experienced local musicians, many of whom are former Girls Rock campers themselves! With a band coach and manager assigned to each band, GRD has an unusually high staff-to-camper ratio that allows us to get to know each rocker as an individual and support their unique needs.

​If you're interested in joining us as a volunteer this summer,  apply here by May 20, 2026!
