Girls Rock Camp Pōneke - School Holiday Programme

The first ever Girls Rock! Pōneke is set start in the July school holidays! Enrol today for the last remaining places.

Girls Rock! is a week-long holiday programme for female, transgender and gender non-conforming youth where music is the medium to build confidence, empowerment and foster social change which runs 8.30am-4.30pm from the 8 - 12 July with a performance for friends and family on the 13th July.

During the week, campers between the ages of 12-17 years will
- form a band and work with our Girls Rock mentors to create their own song
- learn instruments with experienced teachers (no prior musical experience necessary)
- attend workshops (beat making, guitar maintenance, zine making, songwriting and more)
- experience live music with lunchtime concerts from popular local bands
- perform in a concert for friends and family at the end of camp on the 13th July

The kaupapa of Girls Rock! Aotearoa is to create the world we want to live in – a more equal and inspiring place.

The goals of GR!A:
- To help young women build confidence and practical skills in songwriting and music through tutoring and practice
- To utilise the talent of local songwriters and music-makers to help mentor and guide participants
- To educate young people through talks and collaborative workshops on songwriting, design, feminism and music history
- To support and promote the presence of women, transgender and gender non-conforming youth in music
