GRC 2017

The fourth annual LV Girls Rock Camp was AMAZING. Thirty-three kids, ages 10-17, spent the week with us at Liberty High School in Bethlehem, PA. They learned how to play an instrument, formed a band, wrote an original song together, and then performed at a *real concert*– all in just six days! Our campers also attended workshops based on this year’s theme: Unity in the Community.

Our program concluded with the showcase on Saturday July 22nd at Diamond Theatre. “Unity in the Community” featured eight bands each playing their original song in front of their  family, friends, and future fans. The show was simply amazing. All of the bands did such a good job and Charlie was the perfect MC!

We would like to thank all of our wonderful sponsors, our incredible volunteers (many took off an entire week of work to be with us), and each of the inspiring kids who attended camp. You all help to make this possible! And for that, we are immensely grateful.
