Girls Rock Milwaukee is a non-profit day camp designed to empower girls of all backgrounds through music education and performance. During the intensive one-week day camp in Milwaukee, WI, girls ages 8-16 of all skill levels learn an instrument (guitar, bass, drums or vocals), form a band, write a song and perform at the end of the week at a showcase for family, friends and fans.

The songs were written and performed by each band during our first session that ran August 5-9, 2013. They were recorded at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Helen Zelazo Center.

Our Mission:
We are dedicated to creating a positive environment that builds girls’ self-esteem and fosters leadership, life-skills development, and independent thinking while cultivating a supportive community of female peers and mentors.

Other Information:
During the week campers receive small-group instruction on instruments and practice with their bands. Girls also take workshops about merchandising, women in rock, conflict resolution, women and cultural identity, leadership and other skills that young women need to take over the world! Classes are taught by an all volunteer staff of Milwaukee-area musicians, teachers, artists, crafters, business owners and community organizers.
