NYC Rock Camp

Bio

N.Y.C. Rock Camp is a mixed genre music camp that focuses on empowering youth through music and building community through shared musical expression. Rock Camp is designed to allow New York City youth, regardless of musical experience or taste, freedom of expression and exploration in music and performance, and in so doing, empowers campers to find their own voice, sound, and beat without creative boundary or inhibition.

NYCRC Relies Heavily on donated and loaned instruments for our annual NYCRC Camp. Camp will be August 8-13 this year. Drop us a line if you can lend or donate some of your awesome gear to help kids rock! Thank you for your generous support and donations.

Band Members/Accomplices

Katie Blankenship serves as the Satellite Music Director at YEAH! and oversees all of our out of town Rock Camps and Rock Blok Programs. She holds a Master of Arts from New York University in Non-Profit Administration and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Santa Cruz in Cultural Anthropology. She started working with YEAH as a volunteer at the Southern Girls Rock & Roll Camp four years ago, and fell so in love with the program that she moved home from New York City to help run Music Programs all year long.

Issa Blowers serves as the Co-Director of NYC Rock Camp. She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Art and Education from Johnson State College and has been involved with non-profit organizations for years. Issa’s passion for the arts and education made her a perfect fit for NYCRC. She started volunteering with NYCRC in 2009, when it was still Brooklyn Emerging Artists Rock Camp, and was so moved by the experience that she decided to come on as a Director in 2010 and now works year round to keep NYCRC going strong!
