In the very first issue of Shameless, Lisa Weaver wrote about The Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls in Portland, Oregon (“Get Ready to Rock”), the absolute coolest summer camp I have ever heard of.
A few more camps have popped up in the US, and there’s a great feature on girls rock camps in Wiretap. It mentions that there’s a similar camp in Canada. Could it be true?! Has anyone heard about this?
I love that these camps give girls an outlet for creative expression, a sense of community and a chance to rock a mic (or guitar, or drums) without feeling self-conscious. Rock on, girls.

PS: I heard the Canadian version of this camp is in Alberta...?
