The Rock n Roll Camp for Girls, a non-profit that builds self-esteem through music and performance, announces it’s 2009-2010 schedule.
The Girls Rock Institute will begin it’s seventh season with sessions starting October 6. All girls are welcome; no experience is necessary. Girls Rock Institute (GRI) offers a safe place for girls to explore their creative side and develop their technical, musical and leadership skills. GRI provides weekly instruction and technical training, encouraging the development of life skills, creating leadership opportunities and providing girls with a supportive community of peers and mentors. “Both of my daughters have gained so much both musically and personally from their participation in the Girls Rock Institute,” says Leslie Yeargers, the mother of two GRI students, “Not only have they grown musically, but their leadership skills, ability to cooperate with others to achieve a common goal, and sense of self-esteem gained from accomplishing a difficult task and being recognized for it have greatly evolved from their experiences at the Girls Rock Institute. As their parent, I am so glad that GRI exists for them. It is a program that combines so many aspects of music making and self-expression not offered anywhere else.” Tuition for camp is $250, and all proceeds support the Rock n Roll Camp for Girls. Financial aid is available for any girl who needs it. All levels of musical skill and experience are welcome at the camp.
