Rain City Rock Camp’s Advanced Music Program (AMP) is a week-long intensive workshop produced in collaboration with MOPOP for youth of marginalized genders ages 14 to 19 with prior music experience. AMP’s youth-centered, empowerment-oriented approach to musical development incorporates mentor-guided song writing, band participation and experiential learning.

Campers participate in empowerment workshops, off-site trips to studios and venues, and more! At the end of the week, participants get to record their original song with their band with a professional engineer and perform for a crowd of adoring fans.

Campfire songs are so 2023—this year, become a rock star! In partnership with Seattle Children’s Theatre, learn the ins and outs of producing a music video through instruction from teaching artists. Explore songwriting techniques, acting for the camera, and more, all culminating in your very own parody music video filmed on location at Seattle Center. Just remember us in your Grammy acceptance speech.

Let your imagination run wild and gain new skills, all while having fun. This is science so cool, it feels like magic.
