There won’t be a lack of girl power in Vancouver on International Women’s Day.
For the past five summers, a group of Vancouver girls between the ages of eight and 17 has attended a camp that teaches them how to rock. Vancouver is one of the cities that’s part of the worldwide Girls Rock Camp Alliance, a network of camps that help boost girl’s self esteem by teaching them how to play and perform rock ‘n’ roll. For one week, the campers form and name rock groups – with impressive titles like Murder Burger – learn instruments and then put on an unforgettable performance that showcase the skills they learned that week. On March 8th, some campers, along with a group of Vancouver’s veteran female rockers, will come together to jam out a night of cover songs.
