QCRC always accepts gear donations! Our campers rely on borrowed and donated gear to rock out. Year round, we accept permanent donations of used, functional musical instruments (bass, drums, guitar, keyboard) and equipment (amps, PAs, microphones, cables, power strips, tuners, straps, strings, picks) for our Gear Library. (You can also earmark a Camp Gear sponsorship for specific instruments.) From January until camp week, we also campaign for loaner gear pledges for the week of camp.
During camp week, each room needs:
full drum kit with throne
full PA (head, two speakers, cables, 2 mics, 2 mic stands)
guitar amp
bass amp
2 instrument cables
tuner
extension cord
power strip
pack of guitar strings
pack of bass strings
picks
drumsticks
2 guitar straps
6 pairs of earplugs
You can donate musical equipment, for camp week or for keeps, using this form.
Additionally, QCRC needs a variety of non-musical goods to help make camp week a success, such as:
snacks for our volunteers (bagels and cream cheese, granola bars, popcorn, bottled water, soda, tea, energy drinks, coffee)
items for camper schwag bags (tote bags, earplugs, pens, notebooks, buttons, reusable water bottles)
office supplies (pens, Sharpie markers, blank CDs, copy paper, gently used laptop computers)
used gift cards (we make guitar picks out of them!)
And our big item wishlist currently includes:
color laser printer/copier/fax
projector
