Girls Rock! Indy camp is a day camp for girls, non-binary, and trans youth ages 9-16. Campers attend a week-long crash course in instrument instruction, songwriting, and musical collaboration as well as interactive workshops and lessons focused on building confidence, personal empowerment, and leadership skills through the lens of music education.

Camp culminates with a Saturday Showcase where campers perform the original songs that they created throughout the week. Campers do not need to have any prior music experience, and instruments will be provided. This year we will also be offering an audio production track. It is open to campers entering 7th grade (or older).

For 2024, we are changing camp up a bit. Our new camp structure and offerings are as follows:

  • Camp Week 1 (July 8th-12th) will be our regular Full Day Camp programming for 9 to 16 year olds with the same amount of campers that would attend both weeks combined.
  • Camp Week 2 (July 15th-19th) we are kicking off a 6-8 year old Half Day Camp, a Full Day Instrument Intensive Camp, AND a Full Day DJ/Production Camp

Camp tuition for 6-8 year old (half-day) is $300.00 per camper. Intensive Instrument tuition is $375.00 for one camper to attend one week of camp. And new this year, if you have a multiple campers in your family or your camper would like to attend both weeks, we’re offering a multiple camper discount where 1 camper attending 2 weeks or 2 different campers attending 2 separate weeks is $650.

The application for camp closes on March 18th. There is no application fee. Financial aid, with a sliding scale, is available; more information can be found in the application. The minimum payment for that scale is $50. Tuition will be billed after acceptance letters are sent out, and will be due by May 31st.

AMPLIFIERS

The Amplifier program was introduced in 2017 as a counselor-in-training program for older and returning campers, to expand their music and leadership skills. Amplifiers serve as mentors for younger campers and receive exclusive access to leadership workshops, activities and experiences.

The Amplifiers program is open to high school-age individuals who have previously attended Girls Rock! Indianapolis summer camp. This experience is limited to 10 campers for each camp session.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS

In addition to summer camp, GRI partners with community organizations to bring our mentoring and music education programs to youth around Central Indiana.
