During camp, participants receive small-group instrument instruction on a chosen instrument (bass, drums, guitar, keyboards, or vocals) from local musicians and volunteers, rehearse with their bands, and attend workshops. Past workshops have explored topics such as songwriting bootcamps, stage confidence, feminism in music, and women in the music industry, alongside private performances from local women, non-binary, and trans artists.
Both sessions 1 and 2 run 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. Sunday, and conclude with a live showcase performance for friends, family, and fans at Radio Milwaukee Studios. Attendance at all camp days, the kick-off meeting, and the showcase is required for participants.
Girls Rock MKE Executive Director Mary Joy Hickey explains, “Ladies Rock is about much more than just music. It’s building confidence, finding community, and learning more about yourself and your creative voice in the process. Whether it’s your first time picking up an instrument or a return to music after years away, I guarantee you’ll find yourself changed by the experience. Come join us. We have a place for you.”
