Girls Rock

This week's cool find is Rock & Roll Camp for Girls. This camp is Portland based and founded by a non-profit org. Their mission is to "...encourage, engage and showcase the musical, artistic and individual talents of girls and young women ages 8-18, and to empower them with tools for self-reliance as a means to enhance and affirm positive self-esteem".

There are a lot of things to like about this. For one, they're teaching young girls to develop their skills - unlike so many influences that put emphasis on being pretty and thin at an early age. And I like listening to a bunch of crazy little girls on a sugar high confidently sing off-key. Reminds me a little bit of me as a kid :-)
