Hello Girls Rock Philly friends!
The 9th annual Girls Rock Philly summer camp season is swiftly approaching, and we're working on putting together the best one yet. We love rock camp so much that this year we’re having two sessions!
CAMP DETAILS
Session ONE: Teens, 13 to 18 // July 27 - August 2nd
Session TWO: Youth 9 to 12 // August 3rd - August 9th
Both sessions at The Thomas Campus of Mastery Charter Schools
927 Johnston Street in South Philadelphia.
WORKSHOP DETAILS
Are you interested in leading a workshop at camp? Then tell us about it! This year’s theme is YOUTH RISING! We’re looking for workshops that fit within the 4 distinct themes we’ve created for our campers to experience. The themes are as follows:
Feminism 101
Examples of workshops could include media literacy / representations in media / critique, diversity and gender / intersectionality, history of women in music, etc.
Experiments in Music & Sound
Examples of workshops could include home recording, pedals, musical maps, improvisation, making your own instruments or contact microphones, etc.
Rock your Body & Soul
Examples of workshops could include self defense, yoga, establishing healthy boundaries / consent, what to do when relationships hurt, etc.
Music Makers Make It
Examples of workshops could include songwriting, stage presence, making harmonies, touring / booking shows, managing band dynamics, band art, etc.
THIS FORM
1) Propose a workshop you would like to lead. We'd like to encourage you to approach this as the expert you are and think about the particular skills you have to share with our campers.
2) Suggest workshops you would like to see at camp but may not want to lead. (Scroll to bottom for the workshop suggestion section)
Thanks!

NOTES
*Please feel free to collaborate on workshops and proposals!
*Each workshop group will have approximately 15 campers of the same age. Please let us know which camp week your workshop is appropriate for or if you’re interested in doing both! For some helpful tips on age based learning styles, click
http://bit.ly/1weTWns*Workshops are mostly 1.5 hours, but for the younger age groups can be as short as 1 hour
*Be sure your workshops have lots of interactive components -- this is summer camp, not study hall!
*We hope to provide our presenters with the A/V equipment they need (computers, projectors, etc).
Rock on!
// DEADLINE: We're asking for proposals by June 15th! //

We ask that workshops promote our mission to empower our participants through music education and activities that foster leadership skills, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. When writing your proposal, try to incorporate ways our campers can share and listen, as well as collaborate.
