Our rock programs are where girls come to have their guitars, shredded. Faces, melted. Friends, forever.

Power Week

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). Applications for Power Week 2023 are currently closed. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram or sign up for our newsletter to be the first to find out about 2024. Join us at Jannus Live on July 22, 2023 for the big gig!

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.

Next Open Mic: Sunday, October 29 from 4 – 6pm at The Chattaway

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.

Ladies Rock camp begins October 2023 and slots open July 22. (Capacity will be limited, attend the Girls Rock concert July 22 to register.)
