Miami Girls Rock Camp

Our Mission

Through music and community-building, MGRC reminds girls and gender-expansive youth of their inherent power, their right to take up space loudly and joyfully, and their ability to create positive change in their lives and the world!

Our Vision

MGRC imagines a future in which all youth are part of a nurturing and uplifting community, have access to creative tools, express themselves freely, and recognize the gifts they are to the world.

Our vision is that every youth in Miami-Dade, inclusive of all demographics and abilities, feels that what they have to say matters, that they are entitled to take up space, and that their self-expression is of value. We want them to know they have the power to be creative, and that they have access to instruction, instruments, and a community supportive of their exploration and self-expression. Every part of our programming and engagement is based in uplifting young people and encouraging them to fully express their authentic selves while honoring and embracing the same in others.

Programming

CAMP WEEK

Our flagship program is a week-long summer day camp for girls and non-binary youth in which campers form a band, write an original song together, and perform it on a professional stage to crowds of hundreds. 

The program offers: 

Daily instruction on select instruments (guitar, bass, drums, vocals, keyboard)

Live performances by visiting artists/DJ's

Workshops in a variety of topics ranging from Art, Music, Life Skills, &  Social Justice

Live performance opportunities at reputable venues

YOUTH OPEN MIC

The last Sunday of every other month, MGRC invites all youth up to age 25 to connect with other young artists and perform for enthusiastically supportive audiences on the sunny patio of Gramps in Wynwood. This is a cultivated space for young people to feel uplifted while supporting each other and taking their turns at the mic! It’s a joyful and well-attended, free family event featuring guest musical artists and attracting attendees and performances as diverse as Miami is!
