Frequently asked questions about Ladies Rock Camp:What is LRC?The Ladies Rock Camp (LRC) is a weekend day camp in NE Portland, OR that started as an annual fundraiser for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls. LRC is an opportunity for ladies 19 and over to let loose for the weekend and play rockin’ music together. You’ll start to learn and/or practice your instrument of choice* on Friday, then keep receiving instrument instruction all weekend. Meanwhile you’ll also form a band and work together to write an original song you’ll play on stage as a band on Sunday. The Ladies Rock Camp Showcase is an unbelievable experience! In the course of the weekend you’ll also be offered a variety of workshops** with topics related to being a lady rocker. What is it for?LRC immediately became one of our most favorite events of the year at Rock Camp. Originally created to raise money to support the Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls, it also is a unique, fun, team building event for anyone who wishes they could have come to Rock Camp. Do I need to have a lot of musical experience?Amazingly enough, no! All levels of
skill and experience are welcome, including total beginners! We value all
varieties of knowledge and background. You are not required to know
anything! Not even how to play an instrument. The basics of writing and
playing music will be taught to you at camp. Advanced musicians will be
challenged in instruction too. This is a great opportunity to network
with other lady rockers, form a band, and apply your skills.
What about out-of-towner transportation and acomodations?For your convenience, group rate hotel information and recommendations are available on our contacts/directions page. We will do our best, but cannot guarantee, to provide you with airport transportation and rides to and from camp, matching up hotel roommates, and/or host families. Just let us know what you need on your application. You don't want to miss the after-party, but if you must, we plan on ending the Showcase in time for an evening PDX departure.
How do I get Teri Untalan's famous list of things to do, see and eat while I'm in Portland?
Teri's nightlife guide to clubs,
restaurants, and other beloved PDX awesomeness will be available two weeks
before your session begins. Why should I go?To have the time of your life and benefit the creative voices of young girls! Can I volunteer?We are always looking for enthusiastic, energetic people to help out. If you are curious about Ladies Rock Camp but don’t necessarily want to participate as a camper, we would love to have you come and volunteer for the weekend! No musical experience required! Just fill out a year round volunteer application located HERE. How can I contact someone with LRC?Interested? Suggestions? Questions? Please contact us at lrc@girlsrockcamp.org Is there financial aid available?No. This is a fundraiser for the Rock
'n' Roll Camp for Girls. But some people have gotten creative and
asked their friends, family, and coworkers to support Camp by sending them
to LRC.
Corporate Ladies Rock Camp?Contact us if you are interested in
attending LRC with female co-workers. It is a great team building
and bonding exercise and most def beats out any old ropes course! LRC 2009 SAMPLE SCHEDULE
