INSTRUMENT INSTRUCTION
At camp, you can choose to study guitar, bass, drums, or vocals. Please indicate your first, second, third and fourth choices
of instrument on the application. Although we do our best to accommodate everyone’s preferences, some campers will not
get their first choice of instrument. Due to the need to acquire gear in advance, you cannot change your selection after you
send in your application and you cannot change during the camp session. Instruments will be provided for use during
the camp week. Please note that Rain City Rock Camp for Girls does not accept liability for personal instruments.
OUT OF TOWN CAMPERS
If you are coming from out of town and would like more information about the Seattle area, please contact us at
[email protected]. We do not provide lodging or accommodations, and we are unable to give campers any
personal information of other participants. We do, however, encourage campers and families to network with their peers.
LUNCH
Campers are asked to bring their own lunches each day, and Rain City Rock Camp for Girls will provide an additional
snack in the afternoons. If you are eligible for free or reduced lunch at school and would like free lunch at camp, please let
us know on your application, and we will make arrangements for lunch to be provided for your camper.
2015 EXPRESS YOURSELF PIECE GUIDELINES
Our theme for the year is Power Up: Activate! which is about how we can power up together to activate change!
The Express Yourself Piece (EYP) component of the Summer Camp application is also related to our theme for the
year, so get ready to think about what the theme means to you! To read more about the theme, check out our latest
blog post: http://raincityrockcamp.org/power-up-activate/
We are asking that all potential campers create something that exemplifies who you are and what Power Up:
Activate! means to you personally. This can be in any format you choose, such as a painting, song, video, collage,
etc. The more creative, the better! We are so excited to see what you come up with and may even feature your EYP
on the RCRC Instagram page!
