WHAT HAPPENS AT CAMP

There’s no audition here! Whatever your instrument—be it voice, guitar, bass, drums or keyboards, we will make sure you can make a meaningful contribution.
Simply fill out our questionnaire and we will place you accordingly: in a band with other like-minded, similarly skilled fantasy campers all ready to rock. Whatever your level of proficiency, you’ll find your abilities and confidence grow as you rehearse under the constant guidance of one of our amazing rock star counselors.
These phenomenal mentors won’t simply coordinate your band, they’ll inspire you in a series of intimate master classes. Here you will spend quality time focused on perfecting your skills, immersed in lessons specific to your instrument. That way you’ll be at your personal best by the time you perform, and comfortable enough to chill out with them, take a few photos and get your memorabilia signed afterward.
