San Diego Summer Camp Gears Up for 10th Anniversary
Rock n’ Roll Camp for Girls San Diego is turning up the volume for its 10th year of empowering young musicians with its weeklong GXRL ROCK! San Diego Summer Camp set for June 9–14, 2025. Camp will include five days of songwriting and instrument instruction at Montgomery Middle School in Linda Vista, culminating in a live showcase of original music by campers at Music Box in Downtown San Diego at 11 a.m., Saturday, June 14. Girls and non-binary youth ages 8 to 17 are encouraged to register, and the public is warmly invited to attend the final performance to experience the creative spirit and talent of the campers.
“This milestone year marks a decade of inspiring creativity, confidence, and collaboration through music, and we couldn’t be more excited,” says Camp Founder, Melissa Grove. “Since our launch in 2015, campers have formed 65 bands and written 65 original songs, culminating in unforgettable live performances that showcase the power of youth expression.”
GXRLS ROCK! provides a supportive, inclusive space for girls and non-binary youth to discover their voices, make friends, and gain life-changing confidence. Throughout the week, campers learn an instrument, form a band, attend workshops, and write and perform an original song – often having never picked up an instrument before. All gear is provided, and students are guided by enthusiastic staff, many of them local San Diego artists, who make learning songwriting and music theory fun and accessible.
This year’s 10th Anniversary Camper Showcase will be an unforgettable celebration of creativity, confidence, and community. “The Camper Showcase is such a special part of camp,” says Grove. “It’s incredible to see what these young musicians create in just five days. We hope the community will join us on June 14 at Music Box to celebrate their hard work and hear some amazing original songs. It’s a fun, inspiring show—and it’s open to everyone.” With extra flair planned in honor of this milestone year, it’s the perfect event for families, music lovers, and supporters of youth empowerment.
