"I have big hopes and dreams
They say I shoot too high,
But I tell them they’re wrong
I’m right where I belong
That’s why I sing this song."
--"Lifted" by Untamed, a 2013 Summer Camp band

"[T]he ways that we think and speak as a community make me feel better as a female and as a person. I love all of the things, diversity and ... acceptance. I don't think that I could ever otherwise feel ... thorough communication and understanding within a group, and especially through music. At this point, I not only look forward to Girls Rock Philly, but I cannot imagine my life without it." --Willow, youth program participant

"The thing I enjoy a lot ... was the friends I made and their encouraging words saying to me 'be the best you can be.' I just want to be reunited with my band and just joining our instrumental talents and making us who we are!" --London, summer camper

"[Attending grp] will help me expand as a musician, gaining the confidence I need to play in front of people. This can also help me as a person and teach me how to work better with other people and try to put myself out there more. I would like to make a career out of music and I think this ... can give me more experience in a different environment and not just my school’s band." --Grace, summer camper
