In 2008 News...

Organizers of all levels of experience and back ground in planning and running Girls Rock Camps converged in New York in late March 2008. The yearly retreat is by and for the many incredible staff and volunteer leaders charged with starting and/or operating a non profit Girls Rock Camp. This year's conference agenda included GRCA program development, plus added skill sharing workshops such as Band Coaching 101, how to start a non profit rock camp, inclusive training, and more.

This is a very exciting time as many new and old camps are looking forward to working together to make the Girls Rock Camp community stronger and fulfilling each of our programs' missions.

Attention girls rock camp organizers around the world!
