MISSION
Y’all Rock Camp ATL is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating an empowering and supportive community for trans and nonbinary youth and cis girls ages 10-16 through music education, creative expression, and performance.
ABOUT Y'ALL ROCK CAMP ATL
Y’all Rock Camp ATL (formerly Girls Rock Camp ATL) was founded in 2008 inspired by the original Girls Rock Camp in Portland, Oregon. Y’all Rock Camp ATL is part of a larger alliance of hundreds of rock camps throughout the world!
Statement of Diversity/Non-discrimination Policy: The Girls Rock Camp Alliance values diversity of age, race, economic status, gender expression, size, physical ability, developmental ability, musical interests, learning styles, nationality, religion, thought, citizenship status, and sexual orientation. We promote respect and do not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, or other discriminatory behavior or expression.
THE CAMP
YRCATL’s core program is a six-day summer music camp serving trans and nonbinary youth and cis girls ages 10-16. Former campers who are 17 or 18 may apply to be a Counselor in Training through our volunteer registration.
Campers are instructed in guitar, bass, keyboards, or drums, and participate in workshops geared toward encouraging freedom of expression, self-esteem, collaboration, and respect for community. Campers also form bands and perform in a big concert on the last day of camp. Campers are encouraged to bring their own instruments, however, if they do not have one, an instrument will be loaned to them for use during the week, free of charge.
FINANCIAL AID
Y’all Rock Camp ATL strives to provide the opportunity for every future rocker to attend rock camp, regardless of need. To this end, we’ve enabled a pay as you go option on our camp registration form, with guidelines on payment levels. If you are able, we ask that you pay the full amount to support your camper and others! If your camper wants to attend, but the full amount is not within reach at the moment, please choose according to your needs.
