WHAT TO EXPECT
Want to play in a band on stage? Our Rock 101 music camp is designed for beginners 8-12 years old. No experience necessary! Students will explore their instruments through musical games and activities. Our nurturing environment makes this the perfect camp for budding musicians. Students will work on songs Monday through Friday and the camp will culminate in a concert at the end of the week for family and friends.
What to Bring?
Campers must bring their own lunch each day
Guitarists should bring their own guitar (or bass) if they own one
Guitarists should bring straps, picks, extra strings, etc
Vocalists can bring their own microphone if they own one
Drummers must bring their own drumsticks
Campers must bring their own hearing protection (available for purchase).
Roadie Olympics
Get ready to test your rock-and-roll skills in the ultimate behind-the-scenes challenge! During our Rock 101 Winter Break Camp, students will compete in the Roadie Olympics—a series of fast-paced games that highlight the real jobs of a touring crew. From lightning-fast cable wrapping and gear-lugging relays to quick stage-setup races and trivia about live sound, campers will work in teams to earn points and bragging rights. It’s a fun, hands-on way to learn what it takes to keep a show running while adding a little friendly competition to the week.
