At camp we have a “Shout-Out Wall” to share special messages of thanks and appreciation for each other, and so we want to continue the tradition here too! We want to thank those that support us during camp and year round with financial support, donated goods and services, and the partners that make our camp programming so amazing!
Girls Rock Camp 2024
Camp Week/Programming
RAIS (Recording Arts Institute of Saskatoon) donates their time, space, and expertise every year to host our bands in their studio and record their original songs for us (which we upload later to Bandcamp!). This is a truly unique experience for our campers that offers a taste of the professional musician life!
The Broadway Theatre is a fellow non-profit, community-based organization that donates their space each year for our Camper Showcase, as well as occasional board/organizer meetings.
Our week-long camp is hosted by the wonderful Mayfair United Church, where we have rented space for the past few years now.
We rent instruments for camp from Canadian music store Long & McQuade, who provide us a great discount each year.
Camper Kate Brattan won our logo contest and designed our 2024 10-year anniversary merch!
