Power Week

Guitars, shredded. Faces, melted. Friends, forever.

Each summer campers ages 8-17 gather to learn rock instruments, form bands and write original songs. After just one week, bands perform their new songs live on stage to over 1,000 fans at Jannus Live.

We’re not just a music camp. Our volunteers teach everything from social justice to self-care, body positivity to HERstory, leadership to resilience. This high-voltage, life-changing program cultivates radical self-love, empowers creative expression and builds a strong sense of community.

As part of our leadership pipeline, older campers (Vinyls) can participate as “Punk Rock Prefects” through a Social-Emotional Learning curriculum that prepares them to become mentors of newer, younger campers (Cassettes).

CAMP DATES: July 14 – 18, 8:30am – 5:30pm
LOCATION: Allendale Equity & Justice Center – 3803 Haines Rd, St. Pete
CONCERT: Saturday, July 19 from 2pm-9pm
LOCATION: Jannus Live in Downtown St. Pete

Application window closes April 10, notification of acceptance or wait-list will be sent by May 1.

Youth Open Mic

We believe that youth are inherently powerful and their voices should be amplified! Girls Rock St. Pete hosts a bi-monthly Youth Open Mic to cultivate a space for young people to share their talents, workshop new material and take their turn at the mic.

All youth under 18 (and any accompanying adults) are invited to share music, poetry, comedy, storytelling, or any form of self-expression. We provide a safe and amplified platform to shine with the support of their community. The event is free and open to the public.

Youth Open Mic is held the last Sunday of the month, 3pm – 5pm at Outcast brewing. The dates for 2025 include: 2/23, 3/30, 4/27, 5/25, 6/29, 8/31. 9/28, 10/26, 11/30

Ladies Rock Camp

Girls Rock St. Pete is the camp we all needed when we were kids. GRSP is proud to launch Ladies Rock Camp to inform you: it’s never too late.

Enjoy the thrill of the Power Week model in a lightning weekend course where women and gender-expansive folx learn an instrument, form a band and write an original song together in a fun and supportive environment. Our instructors have a wealth of experience in performing, songwriting, recording, touring, and more. We can work with individuals at any level of musical experience, including total beginners.

Our next Ladies Rock Camp is February 2026!
