LGRC+ is A SUMMER CAMP focused on empowerment, confidence building, friendship-making, and most importantly: music-loving
Lead by a team of musicians and industry contributors, LGRC is excited to bring programming aimed at campers aged 8-15 who self-identify as female, trans, and gender non-conforming. LGRC+ is the latest iteration of London Girls Rock Camp, which was born from the need to create space for female music makers. However, the organizers have long seen a need for the music industry to reflect the rich diversity of gender expressions that we see among our campers. In late 2022, the name was changed to LGRC+ to better represent that goal.
LGRC is located is located on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Chonnonton Nations, on lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum. This land continues to be home to diverse Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) whom we recognize as contemporary stewards of the land and vital contributors of our society.
No musical experience is necessary as we guide campers through a series of workshops and classes that are developed to build skills and confidence in their individual practice and as a band. London Girls Rock Camp is inclusive and ensures that all participants are safe and comfortable.
