GR!DC Goals
1. To provide our campers with self-empowerment, self-advocacy and leadership skills and guidance to use these skills in a positive and ethical manner, as well as opportunities to practice these skills
2. To provide our campers with the team-working skills and practice spaces they need to successfully participate in a collaborative musical group and create their own original musical expression
3. To develop among our campers a sense of history, community and pride for women in rock, including a sense that they are part of that movement and can affect positive social change through the tool of music
4. To provide basic and advanced instruction in instrumentation and creative composition of a song
5. To introduce campers to the experiences of musical recording and performance
