Girls Rock Philly is a nonprofit organization that presents a girls-only, week-long summer day camp serving junior rockers ages 9 to 17. The fourth year of camp will be held August 9 – 13, 2010. Led by a team of all female instructors and band coaches, girls in the program learn how to play musical instruments, write songs, make their own band merchandise, discover other women in rock and finesse their on-stage jump kicks. This year’s camp is set to expand to include 80 campers. Last year’s camp provided a summer day camp experience for 50 girls.

Girls Rock Philly enjoys tax-exempt status for donations, as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization as designated by the IRS. Donations are now being accepted online at www.girlsrockphilly.org.

Girls Rock Philly is a founding member of the Girls Rock Camp Alliance, creating programs that seek to build self-esteem for girls through music education, as well as provide training to the volunteers and staff who bring the missions of their organizations to life. There are currently over 25 Girls Rock Camps across the U.S.
