Summer Camp Programming

WRG primarily functions as a week-long summer day camp that accepts regional youth aged 10-17 years old. WRG programming is geared toward girls and gender-expansive youth. Campers are taught to play an instrument and are placed into bands. With the encouragement of their camp counselors, each band writes a song which they ultimately perform at a live music venue downtown at a public showcase following camp for their friends and families. Throughout the week, the campers also attend workshops aimed at enhancing their self-esteem such as self-defense, poetry & lyric workshops, dance classes, art therapy, women’s history workshops, and guided group discussions about boundaries & consent. As campers gain fluency on their instruments over the week, open mics and jam sessions break out during free time.

Camp provides programming for one week, Monday-Friday, from 8 AM to 4 PM. On the Saturday following camp, campers perform their songs at a local music venue. During each weekday of camp, campers are provided with lunch, water, and snacks throughout the day.
