FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT RC4G
What is RC4G?
Rock Camp for Girls is a week-long day camp for girls focusing on the basics of playing and
performing in a rock 'n roll band. Camp includes music lessons and band practice,
a variety of workshops and a final showcase called the Big Gig.
Who can go?
RC4G is open to girls between the ages of 11 and 17 (see below). No musical experience is
necessary and you don't have to bring your own instrument (although you can if you wish).
When is the camp?
In 2010, we are offering two sessions of RC4G. Session 1, August 9-13, is for girls aged 11 to
14. Session 2, August 16-20, is for girls aged 13 to 17. If you are 13 or 14, you can attend
either camp. We can help you decide which session would be a better choice. Jam Camp is an
advanced camp open to any girls aged 11 to 17 who have attended at least one session of
Rock Camp or have previous musical experience. (Not offered 2010.)
What are the hours?
RC4G begins at 9:00 am and ends at 4:30 pm each day. Campers can be dropped off as early
as 8:30 am and should be picked up no later than 5:00 pm. On the last day of camp we hold
our 'Big Gig' where the girls get to show off what they've learned. The Big Gig usually begins at
4:00.
Who runs the camp?
RC4G is organized and led by a group of female musicians and performers from Peterborough
and area. We also have a number of talented volunteers who help with all aspects of the camp.
RC4G relies on the interest and generosity of a variety of individuals, businesses and
organizations to make the camp a success.
How much does it cost?
The 2010 registration fees are $225. If you are not able to afford this amount, talk to us. We
have subsidy money available - you can apply online. Also, the City of Peterborough's
Recreation Division has an activity subsidy for qualified individuals that can be used for RC4G
registration. Call 705-742-7777 ext. 1827.
Where is RC4G held?
RC4G is held at Sadleir House, located at 751 George St. N. (just north of Parkhill Road) in
Peterborough, Ontario. The Sadleir House facility has a large performance space fully
equipped with PA equipment as well as a variety of meeting rooms for small group sessions.
Sadleir House also has a fenced lawn area for outdoor activities.
Is it better if I already play a musical instrument?
Not necessarily. The whole point of the camp is to give girls the opportunity to try playing a
rock 'n roll instrument and to learn about playing as part of a band. At past camps, we've had
girls who've never played a musical instrument and girls who have taken music lessons for
years. We all work together very well (check out the photos!).
How do I apply?
You can apply online here or pick up an application package from Maar's Music (360 George
St. N.), The Spill Coffee Bar (414 George St. N.) or Sadleir House (751 George St. N.). Please
note that registration is on a first-come, first-served basis and a non-refundable deposit of $50
must be received before your application will be considered complete. Be forewarned that
camp fills up very quickly!
