Girls & Ladies Rock MKE

Girls Rock Camp

Girls Rock camp is a one-week summer day camp for girls and gender-expansive youth entering 3rd-12th grades. Youth campers of all skill levels learn an instrument (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, or vocals), form a band, write a song, and perform their song on stage at an end-of-week showcase for friends, family, and fans.

Camp sessions are typically held for a week each in June, July, and/or August at the Helene Zelazo Center of the UW-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts. Showcases are performed at Vivarium.

Ladies Rock Camp

Ladies Rock camp is an intensive Friday-Sunday music camp for women and gender-expansive adults ages 18 and older. Adult campers of all skill levels learn an instrument (guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, or vocals), form a band, write a song, and perform their song at an end-of-weekend showcase for friends, family, and fans.

The 2024 camp session was held over a long weekend at Mount Mary University in Milwaukee, with a showcase performance at Company Brewing.
