Girls Rock Camp

Girls Rock Camp is a one-week summer day camp for girls and gender-expansive youth entering 3rd-12th grades. Youth campers of all skill levels learn an instrument (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, or vocals), form a band, write a song, and perform their song on stage at an end-of-week showcase for friends, family, and fans.

Camp sessions are typically held for a week each in June, July, and/or August at the Helene Zelazo Center of the UW-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts. Showcases are performed at The Cooperage. Learn more about Girls Rock camp here.
