rock n' music camp
Rock camp is at the heart of our organization, kicking off our programs for the first time in 2014.
Rock Camp registration is CLOSED for Summer 2024.
Please read before registering for camp. To maintain the quality of the learning experience and the overall enjoyment of all participants, we strictly enforce the age guidelines for our music camp. We kindly request your cooperation in adhering to the designated age range for this program. Registrations will be canceled and refunded if your camper does not meet the age/grade level for camp.
2024 Rock Camps Sponsored by
COME ROCK with us
In one week, campers form a band, write an original song, and participate in workshops along the way. These camps occur at UNCC's Dubois Center in Uptown Charlotte with a final concert performance at Heist Brewery at Camp North End.
Summer camp registration opens in January. Our camps fill up quickly, so early registration is strongly encouraged (most camps are full by March or April). We also reserve up to half of our camp spots for families applying for scholarships and tuition assistance.
camp program & mission
At We Rock Charlotte, campers learn much more than how to rock!
Our summer camp curriculum teaches these diverse individuals to learn, create, and collaborate through musical exploration. We provide lessons, workshops, and activities that build allyship and empower campers to find their voice.
This community is a safe space for campers to explore and affirm their identities, using positive and inclusive language across all genders, races, ethnicities, socio-economic levels, immigration statuses, abilities (physical, cognitive and mental), and more.
By uniting musical education with social justice programs, We Rock Charlotte teaches campers to stand up for themselves and each other as artists, activists, and allies.
We invite all girls, gender diverse youth and allies to make disruptive change and rock with us!
Camp Schedule
Our summer camp tuition provides full-day programming and instruction. Campers participate in instrument instruction, band practice, social justice workshops and arts programming *8:30am to 4pm Monday through Friday, along with a concert.
All campers are an important band member and must take part in our big concert!
Tuition covers camper bags filled with snacks, treats, craft supplies, and more! Due to health concerns and food allergy issues, campers are asked to provide their own lunch.
*specific camp times may vary.
Experience & Instruments
Don't know how to rock? That's okay!
Musical experience is not required. In fact, many of our campers learn to play an instrument for the first time at our summer camp.
We provide each camper with all the instruments they will need, but they are also welcome to bring their own instrument. Please note that We Rock Charlotte is not reponsible for any loss or damage to the camper's own instrument or gear.
Camp location
Our 2024 Camp location is held at UNCC's Debois Center in Uptown Charlotte with final concerts at Heist Brewery at Camp North End.
