New rock music camp for girls planned for Scranton – Scranton Times-Tribune

A new day camp for girls will be held in Scranton in July, led by a Northeast Pennsylvania native bass player and instructor.

Natalie Jurosky’s new nonprofit, Scranton Girls Rock, aims to teach instruments, vocals and confidence.

“Scranton Girls Rock is just a space where we get a bunch of girls and we give them some instruments, we turn them into rock stars and we put on a show,” she said.

Jurosky graduated from Mid Valley Secondary Center in 2008 and was part of the Scranton-area rock band Graces Downfall. She now lives in Orlando, Florida, where she performs, gives lessons and volunteers at a similar rock camp for girls.

“Everybody always has a blast and loves the energy,” she said.

She also has a promotion company for creative women called “Women Who Vybe.”

The camp is July 14-19, ending with a public performance at the Ritz Theater in Scranton.

The plan is to offer lessons in guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, ukulele and vocals, and the chance to form a band to collaborate on an original song. She expects to have more than 20 instructors, including visits by local musicians.

It is open to girls, trans and nonbinary youth ages 7 through 17.

The cost is $300, with plans for financial assistance.

Registration is open through June 10.

The camp will begin at Northeast Scranton Intermediate School and spend the final two days at the Ritz Theater.

Jurosky seeks volunteers, sponsors and donations of equipment and is holding a fundraiser with Electric City Sweets products. Information at linktr.ee/scrantongirlsrock.
