What we do starts with

WHO WE ARE

  • Campers

    Our week-long camp is open to girls and gender-expansive youth ages 10-17. We focus on teaching self-esteem, communication skills, leadership and creative collaborative through music education and performance. Each camper will be grouped in a band, rehearse throughout the week, and then perform on a local stage LIVE for their peers and families.

    2025 Camper Applications are closed for this year! Please email us with questions about camp!

  • Volunteers

    We are now accepting applications to be a part of our camp volunteer squad! Each year, WRG has been run by Volunteers and it’s because of them, we get to have camp magic! Musical ability is not a requirement, as there are many other components to camp that we need help with. We prioritize women, nonbinary and gender-marginalized folks in leadership roles
