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.

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.
