Camp Registration Form 2024
We Rock Athens Camp is a day camp for youth who identify with a marginalized gender  (girls, trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming youth) that will be held Monday, July 22nd through Friday, July 26, 2024. Although it is referred to as a "Rock" camp, we think of Rock as our ethos, not our genre. Youth are encouraged to pursue any genres they are interested in in their bands. The performance will be the afternoon or evening of Saturday, July 27th. Venue for the performance to be announced. Registration will be open until camp is filled, at which point we’ll start a waiting list.

Thanks for your interest in We Rock Athens!

We Rock Athens' 2024 camp will be held in Athens, Georgia. Exact address will be included in acceptance letter.

How much does camp cost?

Tuition for the week is $300 plus a $20 application fee. For families who can afford to pay more we encourage you to do so.  Whether you can give $5 more or $5,000 more, every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated!

Is financial aid available?

Yes, you can apply for one of our limited financial aid spots with this application. Financial Aid is determined by need and first come first serve. You may apply for partial or full financial aid.

When is the tuition payment due?

Once you have received confirmation of your camper’s registration, payment arrangements must be made within 2 weeks of the confirmation letter being sent. If you do not pay in full by July 1st, we will cancel your acceptance into the camp and give your spot to another camper.

What if I am accepted but I don’t get my first choice of instrument?

We do our best to help everyone get her first choice instrument, but that is not always possible, and sometimes campers will have to play their second choice instrument as a way to make cohesive bands.

What if I need to cancel?

If you need to cancel, please notify us right away.  If you have submitted your payment and would like a refund, you must cancel IN WRITING.  If we receive your cancel before June 1st we will refund your payments (except for the non-refundable $20 application fee). If you cancel before July 1, 2019 we will refund 50% of the payments you have made (except for the non-refundable $20 application fee).  If you cancel after July 1, 2019 we cannot refund your payment.  If you have not paid in full by July 1st, you may lose your spot, as there are many other rockers who’d be happy to have it!

I didn’t get in, is there a waitlist?

If you didn’t get into this session we will keep a short waitlist in case there are any last minute cancellations. This list is only active for this year’s session and you will have to re-register next year.
