About Rock Camp for Girls

Rock Camp for Girls Montreal is a music camp where girls get together to learn and make music in the name of empowerment and community building. Rock Camp is a space where girls discover and express their talents, and become leaders in creating their own kind of cultural production through music.  Female musicians and community members support girls through instrument instruction, tech tutorials, band practice and skill-building workshops. At the week’s end, the girls get the chance to show off their talents to friends, family, and community members at the Showcase Concert. The goal is for girls to rock in all aspects of life.

Mission and Mandate

Rock Camp for Girls Montreal fosters the promotion of self-esteem, skill-building and critical thinking skills for girls through collaborative music composition and performance. We supplement the music component of Rock Camp for Girls Montreal with workshops based on feminist and anti-oppression frameworks that provide girls with a space for critical examination and empowerment.

We aim to create a sustainable, annual project that will foster community building among girls as well as provide mentorship and leadership opportunities for girls and young women in Montreal. The dream is for Rock Camp for Girls Montreal to grow into a sustainable long-term network of campers, staff, community members and stake holders interested in the empowerment and musical leadership of girls in and around the Montreal area.
