Willie Mae Rock Camp offers an adult program in Brooklyn (win free admission)

Ladies Rock Camp

I think I personally became aware of Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls through their many benefit events, for instance the one Titus Andronicus played earlier this year at Mercury Lounge. To quote the camp’s mission page:

“Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls is a non-profit music and mentoring program that empowers girls and women through music education, volunteerism, and activities that foster self-respect, leadership skills, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration.”

This summer the camp is presenting Rock Camp for Girls and Ladies Rock Camp, a version of their camp for adult women (ages 19+).

The next adult summer program (that you can still sign up for) is taking place from August 12-14 in Downtown Brooklyn at the Urban Assembly School of Music & Art. According to the website:

Ladies Rock Camp is an intensive, three-day music and mentoring program for adult women. The “grown-up” version of the summer camp for girls, the program brings together women from different walks of life and all levels of musical experience for a long weekend of instrument lessons, songwriting, band practice, and workshops, all culminating in a showcase concert at a professional music venue. Sliding scale tuition makes the program accessible to women from all income levels.

Basic tuition is $425, though you can save money by signing up with a friend, or by applying for reduced admission. They also have installment payment plans. More details at their site.

Want to go for FREE? We’re giving way one free admission to all three days of the next Ladies Rock Camp. You just need to be at least 19 years old and female to enter. Contest and more details below.
