School of Rock Summer Camps are perfect for any young musician between the ages of 8-18 and are tailored to the individual skill level of each camper to ensure an educational and enjoyable experience for all. Our camps are ideal for anyone with an interest and/or experience in vocals, guitar, drums, bass, or keys.
Our Rock & Roll Camps are condensed versions of the programs we offer year round, and are all about LEARNING MUSIC, BUILDING CONFIDENCE, MAKING FRIENDS and PERFORMING LIVE! School of Rock Camps are 5 days of learning music, playing music, band bonding and performance! Throughout the week the kids go from zero to a full set of songs to perform at our school. Group rehearsal, song casting, instructive coaching, gear education, and band-related activities are all aimed towards helping kids learn a set of songs and be totally ready to rock them out live by the end of the week. Whether you sing, play drums, keyboards, or shred guitar or bass, you will have a blast! All skill levels are welcome, from beginner to advanced!
FAQs
- What time does camp start and end? Camp runs from 10am-3pm, Monday-Friday.
- What should students bring? It is recommended for all students to bring a notebook and pen. We have drums, keyboards, and amps here, so no need to bring those. Drummers should bring drum sticks and headphones. Guitarists should bring their guitars, picks, and tuners. Bassists should bring their bass guitars and tuners. Keyboardists and singers just need to show up.
