2026 Bay Area Girls Rock Camp Summer Application

Thank you for your interest in Bay Area Girls Rock Camp!

This year we will be holding Summer Camp during June. We will be providing 3 weeks of camp! Camp will be held Monday - Friday with a showcase on Saturday.

Our current dates for Girls Rock Camp are as follows:

Session 1: June 8th - June 13th 
Session 2: June 22nd - June 27th 

During our week-long program campers attend instrument lessons, form a band, collaboratively write an original song, and perform with their band at a live showcase at the end of the week. Throughout the week we also host activities and workshops such as screen printing, zine-making, and dance! Bay Area Girls Rock camp is a space for girls and gender expansive youth ages 8-18. Campers will be placed in bands and instrument classes based on their age groups.

Summer camp will be held at an Oakland Technical High School 4351 Broadway, Oakland CA 94611

Tuition is $0-$650 sliding scale, with no one turned away for lack of funds. Full and partial financial aid is readily available.

 If you plan on applying for financial aid, please fill out this Summer Camp Application BEFORE filling out the Financial Aid Application so that we can determine who your camper is and their tuition amount. Otherwise, full tuition is $650.

It is our mission to be accessible to all youth regardless of their families' financial situation. We offer a sliding-scale tuition of $0 - $650.

We offer full and partial financial aid upon request, and no one is turned away for lack of funds. If you decide to apply for financial assistance, please fill out the financial aid application (separate) in addition to this application.
