Adult Rock Camp

Rain City Rock Camp’s Adult Rock Camp (ARC) is a three-day camp that creates opportunities for gender-marginalized adults to find their inner power and rekindle their sense of joy using music as the tool. It also builds our community of volunteers, mentors and activists that support Rain City Rock Camp’s youth programming. ARC is an opportunity for individuals ages 18 and older who are not enrolled in high school to let loose for the weekend and experience music together.

Campers receive instrument instruction, where they learn the basics of how to play their instrument. In band practice, they collaborate to write a song. Campers also attend a variety of music- and non-music-related workshops on topics ranging from identity and activism, to body power, to zine making. ARC culminates in a Showcase at a local music venue where campers debut their original songs for an audience of friends, family and community members.

ARC’s programmatic vision is to cultivate a community of passionate, creative, and socially engaged individuals who will serve as stewards, mentors and leaders in changing the world. We hope to foster a community of empowered creatives and activists to spread the mission of RCRC, far and wide.

RCRC offers multiple versions of Adult Rock Camp, including ARC Classic (open to all gender-marginalized adults), Trans ARC, and BIPOC ARC.
