Amplify Lawrence (formerly GRL)

Provides a safe-space for girls and transgender youth to inspire one another and have a voice through music 🎶

[The Lawrence Times @LawrenceKSTimes]

During the weeklong @AmplifyLawrence camp, girls and transgender or nonbinary youth are encouraged to be unapologetically themselves through music. Campers form bands, write original songs and perform in a final live concert in front of the community. 🎸

We've come a long way! Enjoy a walk down memory lane with us! What's your favorite camp memory?

[Amplify Lawrence (formerly GRL) @AmplifyLawrence]

You all are amazing and we are so proud of you all!!! This year wasn't what any of us expected but we made it happen!!! Thank you to all our (virtual) campers!!!

[Amplify Lawrence (formerly GRL) @AmplifyLawrence]

Year after year our camp has included femmes and those with marginalized gender identities, broad racial identities, socioeconomic backgrounds. The name change was initiated by campers, and we hope the new name will help future campers & volunteers feel welcome in our community.

We are excited to announce that GRL is now ⚡️AMPLIFY LAWRENCE ⚡️ This name change was inspired by campers and we hope it better reflects our camp community. See the new website for more. Link in bio.
