Rocktober! Girls rock the capital with Ladyfest Ottawa’s Rock Camp

Ladyfest Ottawa (LFO) is getting ready to rock out for two days, starting on October 22, 2011! Rock Camp for Girls is a volunteer-run weekend where local female musicians mentor teenage girls (ages 13 to 17) on how to come together and play in a rock band.

Thanks to the generous support of sponsors such as LFO, Capital Rehearsal Studios, Alterna Savings and Raw Sugar Café, the camp is offered to participants for only $3 or a canned food donation. For such a low cost, the girls are given the chance to hone in on their instrument skills and develop band dynamics with their peers, inspiring and empowering them with new creative outlets. Mentors cover everything from plugging in an amp to song-writing and performing. The weekend wraps up with an exclusive concert, where the girls' newly formed bands each perform a song in front of their families and friends.
 
If you are between the ages of 13 and 17 and would like to participate in this two-day crash course to get schooled in bass, guitar, drums and vocals, please e-mail lforockcamp@gmail.com for registration info. Space is limited so don’t procrastinate, sign up now!
