Applications are open for 2019’s Girls Rock Dublin summer camp

Running from June 25-29, Girls Rock Dublin provides a positive, non-competitive environment where 20 campers will get the opportunity to express themselves through a unique programme that combines music tuition, collaborative workshops and a refreshing DIY spirit.

Following two successful years of rock camps, GRD’s five-day event will be hosted in Sound Training College and Temple Lane Studios, premium Dublin music facilities. The camp is run by an all-woman team including musicians and music professionals active in the local independent music scene.

Girls Rock Dublin put a strong focus on diversity, encouraging young people from socially underrepresented groups to sign up, even offering ten scholarships to applicants from Direct Provision and low-income households.

Empowering self-esteem through music and performance, the volunteer-led organisation cultivates a supportive community of peers and mentors, encouraging social change and the development of life skills. It is a global movement which brings this positive impact to over 100 cities worldwide.

During 2019 the group plan to include a Ladies Camp for those 18 and over taking place on the October bank holiday, as well as the launch of the GRD Gear Library, a loan programme for teens run in partnership with Dublin Public Libraries.

Girls Rock Dublin is sponsored by Dublin City Council, IMRO, Sound Training College, Temple Lane Studios, MusicMaker, Damn Fine Print, Reverb.com
