A big part of our work for racial justice lies in our commitment to redoubling our efforts to ensure our programs center and uplift womxn, girls (cis and trans) and gender expansive folks of color, are accessible to all communities, and educate participants about the systemic racism faced by people of color—particularly Black womxn and gender non-conforming musicians—in the music industry and beyond. These goals have been integral to our planning for our summer programs.
We’re excited to share our plans for a Virtual Summer camp that will be every bit as empowering and meaningful as our in-person camps. And, we hope you’ll join us on this new adventure of self expression!
What you can expect from Virtual Summer Camp:
- Online workshops, assemblies and dance parties
- Music instruction and songwriting
- Live performances from guest bands
- A balance of screen time and real-world activities and interactions
- Camper Power-up Pack complete with Tour Guide, lanyard, t-shirt and crafts to make the camp experience come to life
- Tons of staff support—We recognize that technology can present problems for campers and families, and we’re here to help make it easy and accessible!
- Five days of programming, Monday to Friday
- A virtual showcase on the final afternoon where campers can show off their new skills
Summer Camp has always been about creating an empowering, safe space where campers can express themselves authentically and fully. Usually that space exists under one roof, but this year we’re building it under many. Our virtual space grows bigger and better with each person who joins Virtual Summer Camp!
