Summer = Rest and Relaxation...so let's do it up right at the GRC Retreat!
Come explore many artistic techniques and make lots of "happy little accidents".
You're never too small to make a difference and this week we will prove it by up-cycling crafts, re-inventing leftovers, trading gently used toys and books and so much more!
Toss your magnifying glass and fingerprint kit into your knapsack because this week is full of mysteries and riddles. Come and be a junior detective!
Festivals and celebrations are the world's way of making us feel more included, appreciated and connected. Come and celebrate with us!
Grab your swimsuit because it is going to be a full week of fun "on the beach"! And perhaps we'll enjoy some ice-cream in the shade!
April 15th, 2020: While we remain cautiously optimistic about a summer season unaffected by COVID-19, we will continue to keep you in the loop regarding any updates that may amend this plan. In the meantime, please stay healthy, happy, and active during these trying times. Hugs to all of our GRC families!

2020 Theme Descriptions
A Little R & R
Summer = Rest & Relaxation so let’s do it up right at the GRC Retreat!
Mud facials? Check!
Meditation? Yup!
Aromatherapy? Sign me up!
Of course we will still have lots of time for games, fitness, and dance. We will just be doing them with cucumber-infused water in our water bottles! Ommmm...
Art Attack 7.0
To quote happy artist Bob Ross, “We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.” So let’s make lots of happy little accidents this week as we explore artistic techniques such as: illusion, tessellation, negative space, and so much more! According to the American Art Therapy Association, the creative process reduces stress, enhances interpersonal skills, and increases self-esteem. Who knew that a box of crayons held that much magic?
Everything Old is New Again!
Inspirational environmentalist Greta Thunberg says, “You’re never too small to make a difference!” And this week we will prove it by upcycling crafts, re-inventing leftovers, trading gently used toys & books, donating clothes to charity, and talking about protests (we might even have one of our own!) Let’s make this week count!
Magical Mystery Tour
Toss your magnifying glass and fingerprint kit into your knapsack because this week is chock full of mysteries and riddles! As junior detectives, we are going to have to decode, collect clues, gather evidence, and maybe even interrogate an Angel or two!
Save the Date!
Festivals and celebrations are the world’s way of making us feel more included, appreciated, and connected to one another. And this week will do just that as we immerse ourselves in a Bastille Day Bash, a global birthday party, a Pride parade, an Irish jig, and a Mardi-Gras carnival.
She Sells Seashells
May you always have a shell in your pocket and sand in your shoes! Grab your swimsuit because it is going to be a full week of fun “on the beach”! We are going to spend this week saving sea turtles, designing mermaid tails, participating in a deep-sea adventure, tossing water balloons, and indulging in ice-cream in the shade.
Every day at Girls Rock! Camp is filled with opportunities to build confidence through learning, exploring, leading, mentoring, laughing, performing, cooking, sharing, reflecting, relaxing and playing. Each and everyday.
