G.I.R.L.S. ROCK SACRAMENTO

gender inclusivity through radical love and support

 camp culture

At G.I.R.L.S. Rock Sacramento, we believe in the transformative power of collaboration, and our commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment for the youth we serve has always been the center of our work. Our camps provide safe spaces for growth, friendship, and self-discovery. We want every camper to feel a sense of belonging, acceptance, and empowerment during their time with us. GRS celebrates the uniqueness that each individual—camper or mentor—brings to our community. It’s a space where all participants can lift each other up, break down barriers, and rewrite the narrative.

In a society (and music industry) that often marginalizes girls and gender-expansive youth, we’re dedicated to creating a different kind of environment—one where competition takes a backseat to collaboration, and where everyone is encouraged to shine. Our goal is to shift the culture from gossip, judgement, and exclusion to one of inclusivity, acceptance, and solidarity.

We hold a strong commitment to honoring and uplifting marginalized youth and recognize the unique experiences and challenges faced by them in a world that often limits their potential through harmful stereotypes and systemic barriers. Our programs are designed to empower and inspire, and allow our campers the freedom to express their authentic selves, explore their creative tendencies, and build confidence through music and community.

Our commitment goes beyond words; it’s woven into the fabric of every activity, every interaction, and every moment of our programs. We recognize the importance of creating spaces where youth can thrive, express themselves authentically, and build lasting connections that extend far beyond their time at rock camp.

Whether your youth is a seasoned camper or joining us for the first time, they will find a community of peers and mentors who are ready to celebrate their successes, support their dreams, and embrace them for who they truly are.

As we gear up for another unforgettable summer, we invite you to be part of a camp experience that inspires, uplifts, and empowers. Together, let’s create lasting memories that honor each camper’s unique journey, ensuring everyone feels valued, and celebrated. 

Thank you for choosing G.I.R.L.S. Rock Sacramento, we look forward to a summer filled with laughter, friendship, and creativity.
