MINI AND TEEN SUMMER camps
IT’S OUR 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
Since 2016, G.I.R.L.S. Rock Sacramento’s youth programs have provided much more than arts and music education summer camps. We believe that creativity, positivity, inclusivity, and community are key elements of personal and collective empowerment and positive social change. Our summer day camps are week-long programs for young people ages 8-17 who identify as girls, trans, non-binary, or gender-expansive. Campers attend instrument lessons, rehearse in a band, collaboratively write an original song, participate in daily music and empowerment-related workshops and activities, and perform with their bands at a live weekend showcase.
No experience is necessary!

We are delighted to share that our camps offer some full and partial scholarships, as well as a sliding scale tuition payment option, with tuition ranging from $25 – $450. Black, Indigenous, people of color, trans, and gender expansive youth are encouraged to apply. We are fully committed to welcoming a diverse group of campers who represent an economically, racially, and culturally diverse community.
