WHAT TO EXPECT
Channel the energy of one of the most iconic music festivals of all time! In this 5-day camp, students will dive into the punk, pop-punk, emo, and alternative hits that made the Vans Warped Tour legendary. Campers will learn songs by festival favorites, sharpen their stage skills, and collaborate just like a real touring band. The week wraps up with a full-on live show on the final day, where students hit the stage to bring the Warped Tour spirit to life for friends and family.
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.
