Girls Rock Vermont!

This is a spectacle not to be missed!

Saturday June 15th at 5pm Nectar’s will become the arena for Girls Rock Vermont’s first ever all female arm-wrestling tournament~~~

Eight strong-armed women costumed as their wrestler alter-egos will compete in a double elimination style tournament to raise money for our summer camps.

We will also be collecting instrument donations for camp, so feel free to bring down that bass guitar, drum-kit, keyboard or mic that needs a good home! We will gratefully accept them at the event!

Following the tournament there will be a rockin’ set from the Burlington based sci-fi-dance-punk band Wave of the Future ~~~ stick around for the dance party!

It’s not too late to sign up to compete! 
You just have to be a brave woman at least 18 years old who isn’t afraid to dress in costume and arm wrestle in front of people! No professional experience necessary, this is all for fun!

If you are interested in competing in our arm-wrestling tournament you just need to email samara(at)girlsrockvermont.org and come up with:
1. an alter ego with a cool name
2. a short fictional bio about your character (have fun with this, it can be a crazy story!)
3. a cool costume to suit your wrestler character

We’re currently recruiting volunteers for our two summer programs, and also 2 more people for our year-round volunteer staff.

If you’re a musician or simply a fan of empowering girls in Vermont, and you have some free time this summer to help out, head on over to our volunteer description page to see where your skills can be best put to use! Some positions pay a small stipend for the week of camp.

We’re also looking for an Outreach Coordinator and a Volunteer Coordinator to help us out year-round. Learn more here!

Registration is now open for the Morrisville camp! We have partnered up with the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains for this camp, and they will be handling registrations. Please note that the Morrisville camp is limited to girls ages 10-15.

We’re currently planning for Girls Rock Vermont 2013. We are excited to announce that we will have TWO sessions this summer, one in the Burlington area, and one in Morrisville. We’ve teamed up with River Arts and the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains for our Morrisville camp, which is scheduled to take place the week of August 5th. Burlington dates to be announced soon. 

Camper applications should be available by February 15th. Check back soon for more details. We can’t wait for another summer of camp! 

Our second round of the Rock Lotto is scheduled for Saturday, February 2, 2012 at Club Metronome in Burlington.

If you missed out on our first Rock Lotto, it’s a unique, collaborative, improvisational, band-in-a-day music extravaganza. 25 musicians meet up at 10AM. We place them randomly into bands. They have that day to come up with a 4-song set, and return to Club Metronome that night to perform. It can get weird, awesome, or become a train wreck. This is all part of the fun!
