Do I need my own instrument?
A: NO! We can lend you one. We have everything you need to learn your instrument, practice with your band, and play a show! But our supply of equipment is limited, so you are welcome and encouraged to bring your own equipment and accessories if you have them.
We also have a no-cost instrument loan program for basses, guitars, and keyboards. Rock Camp has plenty of drum sets, amps, cords, and DJ records you can use while you are here, but these do not typically get checked out. We can also refer you to some rental shops and music stores around town.
Do you offer financial aid?
A: YES! Our financial aid is based on need. We try very hard to make sure Camp is accessible to all girls! Please visit our programs section to download our financial aid form.
Do I have to like rock music?
A: NO! Rock ’n’ Roll is in our name, but we support all the ways girls want to “rock” — whatever that means to them! We teach, listen to, and love all sorts of music from rock to hip-hop, jazz to folk, pop to punk! Campers often invent their own genres for the week, like “songs about trees” and “I don’t care, I’m just here to have fun!”
Why girls only?
We want to eradicate all of the limiting myths about music and gender. Through lessons, mentorship, positive examples, and the shared experiences of the staff and volunteers, RnRC4G demonstrates that every genre of music, from the heaviest to the most delicate, and every technical job and creative endeavor in the music industry is available to any girl or woman who wants to explore it. We believe that by teaching these things, we can help girls develop — musically, mentally, and emotionally — their own ideas of who and what they want to be. The enormous amount of community support given to campers at RnRC4G affords them a unique opportunity to express themselves in any way they wish.
Do you offer private lessons?
RnRC4G does not offer private lessons. However, we can point you in the direction of some amazing instructors that have been with us through the years.
