Girls Rock Camp

Girls Rock Philly is happening from August 6-12, 2012! As of right now, we are full for the summer, but you can e-mail info@girlsrockphilly.org to be added to the waiting list.

See below for an FAQ about camp.

Do I have to live in Philly to sign up?

No! We’re more than happy to take out-of-towners. However, rock camp is a day camp and we do not provide lodging or accommodations. We are able to assist, but cannot guarantee, some host family arrangements. Please designate on your application if you would like to host a camper, or if you need a host.

» Check our messageboards for housing & ride-sharing offers & requests as the date of camp approaches.

What ages do you take?

Girls Rock Philly’s girls rock camps are open to girls ages 9 through 17 (somewhere between finishing 4th grade and going into senior year of high school).  That said, if your camper is a week away from turning 9 or turns 18 a day before camp, we won’t be turning her away.

Where is the camp?

Girls Rock Philly takes place at Girard College (2102 S. College Ave.) in Philadelphia. Girard College is a private boarding school for students, grades 1 through 12 & employs year-round campus security that works with Girls Rock Philly’s volunteers to ensure a safe environment for all campers.

How do you assign instruments?

We aim to give every camper their first or second choice, however some years certain instruments are way more popular than others, which means we have to do a little extra work to make it all fit! We want to create a balanced and instrument-diverse camp! So… check out the bass — really! Do you like both drums and guitar? Well, bass is kind of like a mixture of the two. Totally awesome!

For Parents

The tuition for GRP is $400.00 — this is for the entire program: the week of camp, the showcase & the recording. We also provide financial assistance and full scholarships for those who qualify. (Make sure to mark that on your application, and we’ll contact you with more information.)

Camp & Showcase Hours

Each day of camp week begins at 9am & ends at 5pm. Volunteers will be on-site beginning at 8am & staying until 6pm, so if you need to drop off your camper earlier or pick up your camper later, please contact us as camp approaches.

Safety Concerns

Girls Rock Philly is a fully-insured day camp in Philadelphia. All of our camp week volunteers undergo the standard, up-to-date background checks required of anyone working with children in Pennsylvania. Girls Rock Philly also provides up to an hour of morning & afternoon supervision for campers who cannot be dropped off or picked up right as the camp day begins & ends.
