The Bay Area Girls Rock Camp (BAGRC) is a nonprofit organization which aims to empower girls through music education, promoting an environment that fosters self-confidence, creativity and teamwork. The BAGRC strives to challenge gender stereotypes, encourage collaboration and tolerance among peers, and provide a comfortable space for people of all backgrounds to express themselves. Through music lessons, workshops, group activities and performance, girls will acquire skills that will help guide them throughout their lives.
This summer, camp will be held July 7-11th at the Julia Morgan School for Girls in Oakland, with the showcase performance on the night of the 12th at a live venue, Bottom if the Hill in San Francisco. Campers form bands on the first day of camp, then spend five days learning to play their instrument of choice, and collaborating with their bandmates to write an original song. Daily lessons are held in small groups of 3-5 students, grouped according to experience. Workshops address many aspects of being a musician and being a girl. Topics include songwriting, self-defense, image and identity, live sound tech and more. Campers also get a chance to see live bands perform each day at lunchtime, followed by a Q&A session with the musicians. On the Saturday following camp, each of the camper bands will perform their original music at a popular live venue, open to family, friends, and the public. By the end of camp even the most shy among us will be able to crash, bang, twang and screech with her new skills and with her newfound friends. A staff of female volunteers provide instrument lessons, band coaching, and lead workshops.
