About Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls San Diego:

Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls San Diego is a nonprofit organization that empowers girls and non-binary youth through music in a supportive, community-driven environment. The weeklong summer camp experience fosters a lasting sense of self-esteem, creativity, and personal empowerment for all participants.  By offering a safe and creative space, the camp enables participants to express their thoughts, share ideas, and pursue their dreams.

GXRLS ROCK! provides a supportive, inclusive space for girls and non-binary youth to discover their voices, make friends, and gain life-changing confidence. Throughout the week, campers learn an instrument, form a band, attend workshops, and write and perform an original song – often having never picked up an instrument before. All gear is provided, and students are guided by enthusiastic staff, many of them local San Diego artists, who make learning songwriting and music theory fun and accessible.

This summer, GXRLS ROCK! hopes to make camp an unforgettable experience for all who participate. To help ensure access for all, a limited number of full and partial scholarships are available. Applications are also open for volunteer and paid staff roles, offering adults a chance to support this dynamic program.

This year’s 10th Anniversary Camper Showcase will be an unforgettable celebration of creativity, confidence, and community. “The Camper Showcase is such a special part of camp,” says Grove. “It’s incredible to see what these young musicians create in just five days. We hope the community will join us on June 14 at Music Box to celebrate their hard work and hear some amazing original songs. It’s a fun, inspiring show—and it’s open to everyone.” With extra flair planned in honor of this milestone year, it’s the perfect event for families, music lovers, and supporters of youth empowerment.
