Youth Empowerment through Arts and Humanities (YEAH!) announces the 2017 sessions of its flagship program Southern Girls Rock Camp, a summer camp for girls and gender non-conforming youth ages 10-17, and the co-ed Tennessee Teens Rock Camp, both with a mission to empower young people through music education. Its Murfreesboro location, celebrating its 15th Anniversary year, was voted "Best Summer Camp" in Nashville Scene multiple times and has hosted guest lunchtime performers such as Wanda Jackson and Those Darlins.

During the week of camp, participants form a band with their peers, write a song, and learn songwriting, home recording, band promotion, screen printing, band photography, body confidence, media literacy, arts and activism, and music history from recognized musicians and professional teaching artists.

Southern Girls Rock Camp will occur July 10-14th and will culminate in a final showcase on July 15th, open to the public. Tennessee Teens Rock Camp will occur the following week, July 17-21 with the showcase on the 22nd. In Murfreesboro, Southern Girls Rock Camp will occur July 24-29 at Middle Tennessee State University and Tennessee Teens Rock Camp will occur June 19-23rd at Central Magnet High School. The full cost including instrument rental is $320 and there are scholarships available to families in need. No musical experience is necessary to participate.
