OUR MISSION

TEMPO builds self-esteem and empowerment through musical and creative expression, education, and performance. By providing workshops and technical training to girls, trans, and non-binary youth ages 12-18, we create leadership opportunities, cultivate a supportive community of peers and mentors, encourage social change, and foster the development of life skills.

We are volunteer-run, and believe all girls, trans, and non-binary youth should have access to camp. Camp is a trans-affirming space, and we celebrate our campers of color and LGBTQIA+ campers. We work to meet our campers' transportation, technological, or financial needs.

OUR VALUES

• Build confidence in campers through music education and personal expression
