GRCA Conference 2008
In 2009 News...We met in Wimberly, Texas, just outside of Austin, at 7a Ranch. It was awesome. 20 girls rock camps were represented from around the world. We invented the new game Multi-Ball!!! And the steering committee formed several sub committees focused on fundraising and organizing the business of running a program such as the Girls Rock Camp Alliance. Throughout the year, we have recieved new affiliate applications from Los Angeles, the Czech Republic, and Vancouver, BC.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. |
