Spring Sing!

Program Overview

Spring Sing! is a four-day vocals camp for gender-marginalized 2nd-5th graders. Campers will explore melody, harmony, songwriting, the role of a front-person in a band, and more. The program culminates in a showcase where campers perform a combination of covers and originals. Get ready to find your voice and express yourself this spring break!

Music is the vehicle, but our goal is to empower our participants to engage their creative potential, champion equity, develop confidence and self-esteem, and thrive in our community of allies, activists, peers and mentors. We consider our programs equally successful if our participants speak up for the things they believe in as if they go on to release albums.

Campers have a variety of levels of musical experience, all the way from never singing in front of anyone, to singing for years. Spring Sing! offers something for everyone. All you need is the willingness to try!

Rain City Rock Camp provides light snacks to all campers throughout the camp day, but campers are expected to bring their own lunches and eat breakfast before arriving in the morning. If your camper needs lunch provided in order to participate, please reach out to programsupport@raincityrockcamp.org. Additionally, please make us aware of any food allergies or intolerances in your application.

Spring Sing! takes place from 9AM to 3PM, Monday through Thursday. The culminating Showcase is on Thursday at 2PM. All campers must be present during all hours of camp and the Showcase; please avoid scheduling appointments or other commitments during these times. Families may request and pay for after-camp care until 5PM daily.

Wearing a well-fitting mask is required at all times indoors at our programs and showcases, except when eating/drinking or performing on stage. We provide high-quality masks to those who cannot access them. Exceptions to our masking policy due to medical or sensory reasons can be made on a case-by-case basis. Please communicate with staff about exceptions before the start of camp.

We take COVID safety seriously because we believe we keep each other safe, and this is an easy way to make our programs more accessible to more people, especially immunocompromised folks. Our policy also decreases the likelihood of campers having to drop out of camp mid-session due to the spread of illnesses, so bands can stay as complete as possible! We don’t want any bands missing members on stage.

Spring Sing! will have up to 15 campers.

Music is the vehicle, but our goal is to empower our participants to engage their creative potential, champion equity, develop confidence and self-esteem, and thrive in our community of allies, activists, peers and mentors.

Cancellations will be honored fully for any reason. We ask that you deeply consider your availability and capacity when applying to camp and accepting your spot. For planning purposes, cancellations made within two weeks of the first day of camp will have a $50 fee deducted from their refund.
