We believe in music as a tool for:
Encouraging creative self-expression
Amplifying voices to create social change
Developing radical self-esteem and personal empowerment
We Rock Camp Athens (formerly known as Girls Rock Athens) is our week-long youth summer camp for ages 9 to 15 and is the flagship program of our organization. We also offer workshops and other programming throughout the year, including a condensed version of our summer rock camp just for adults. We Rock Athens values inclusion and welcome all campers regardless of background, race, abilities, economic status, gender identity or expression, size, nationality, religion, learning styles, citizenship status, or sexual orientation.
Don’t let the name fool you - We Rock Athens isn’t just about rock ‘n’ roll! We celebrate the diverse contributions folx of marginalized genders have made throughout the history of music across the genre spectrum. So whether you’re into rock, pop, hip hop, electronic, country, or classical, We Rock Athens is here to help you crank the volume!
