The dates are set for GRCV 2010 Summer session! August 2-6, with the final showcase August 7th, and Under The Volcano performance August 8th! Mark your calendars, and keep checking here for updates. Camper and Volunteer Applications will go up in March. Hurray!
The camp’s first summer session was a raging success! Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered, attended, or helped in any capacity. Here’s some recent evidence that camp was indeed, awesome:
Nina backstage at the final show - exciting!
Flaming angels practice at camp (capes optional)
Courtney raises the roof for her band "Push"
Camp scream circle!
So where do we go from here? What happens to the 30 campers who are now inspired to keep rocking, and are emailing us to help set up spaces and times to do so?
We are currently fundraising for a Day Program to keep Rock Camp going on a weekly basis throughout the school year. We need your help! This program requires space, time, staff, and equipment for a longer time frame, so we need to gather some serious funds to make it happen. If you are interested in hosting a fundraiser show or party for the camp, please contact us at info@girlsrockcampvancouver.ca. If you are interested in simply donating money to our fine cause, simply refer to the yellow button above.
Let’s keep this thing going!
