G.I.R.L.S. Rock Sacramento is much more than an arts and music education summer camp. We believe that creativity, positivity, inclusivity, and community are key elements of personal and collective empowerment and positive social change. Our summer day camps are week-long programs for young people ages 8-17 who identify as girls, trans, non-binary, or gender-expansive. Campers attend instrument lessons, rehearse in a band, collaboratively write an original song, participate in daily music and empowerment-related workshops and activities, and perform with their bands at a live weekend showcase.
No experience is necessary!

We are delighted to share that our camps offer some scholarships for BIPOC campers, and a sliding scale tuition payment option, with tuition ranging from $25 – $450. We are fully committed to welcoming a diverse group of campers and the sliding scale tuition program ensures that our campers represent an economically, racially, and culturally diverse community.
