Girls Rock C-U is a very cool summer camp for femme-identifying young people to learn how to be in a band. They are grouped together, learn instruments, write and record a song, and play a gig. The gig — this year’s second annual Girls Rock Fest — will feature all the camp bands as well as local favorites Sweetmelk, Nectar, Emily How, The Randys, Venus Overdrive, The Chickadee Sermon, Hannah Rose & the Sweet Nothings, and Haki N Dem. It’s a pretty incredible opportunity for these kiddos, and rewarding for their friends and family.
Girls Rock Fest is open to the public; suggested donation is $25. It’s the camp’s only fundraiser, and all funds go to support future camps. Additional information (including the full schedule) is on the Facebook event page.
