Girls Rock! DC

Girls Rock! DC

We meet the organizers behind DC's summer punk-rock camp.

It's a summer-camp that teaches girls 8 to 18 the finer points of "rocking out." "Girls Rock! DC" teaches dozens of female students the basics of running a band, from writing the songs to using the gear. It also uses music as venue for combating bias and empowering young girls (or grrrls). We meet the camp's organizers and explore what young women can learn from punk rock.

Girls Rock! DC is really a nice summer-camp for us girls! I love playing the guitar and rocking out and learning the basics of running a band through a summer camp is definitely a great experience for us. Like this lpn programs that provide trainings offered by state approved centers that is great for everyone. Oh, how I'd love to be a part of a summer-camp like this!
