About This Camp

We Rock Charlotte offers an innovative music-focused summer camp experience that combines rock music education with social justice programming in a safe, inclusive environment. Campers form bands, learn instruments (no prior experience required), write original songs, and participate in workshops that build both musical skills and social awareness. The program emphasizes creating a welcoming space for all genders, races, ethnicities, and abilities, making it perfect for young musicians looking to express themselves while developing important life skills. The camp culminates in exciting live concert performances where campers showcase their newly formed bands and original compositions. With age-appropriate programming split between Kids Camp (rising 4th-7th graders) and Teen Camp (rising 8th-11th graders), each session provides intensive musical instruction combined with allyship building and social justice education. The program’s commitment to accessibility is demonstrated through their sliding scale pricing and scholarship opportunities, ensuring that financial barriers don’t prevent participation in this transformative musical experience.

Parent Considerations
