CAMP DESCRIPTION
The 80s brought us a wave of new sounds and genres, and produced hits that still rock the airwaves today. In this camp, we’ll perform hits from artists like Billy Idol, Devo, Cyndi Lauper, Van Halen, Flock of Seagulls and many more. Monday through Friday will be spent learning and practicing songs from the 80s, all culminating in a live performance. Our summer camps are one week sessions and are geared toward kids ages 7-17 & ALL skill levels. Campers will be placed in a band, and then throughout the week the students will work on learning Pop Punk songs and write together an original song based on how that band composed their songs. There will also be breakout sessions for their instruments and masterclasses on songwriting, improvisation, and how to perform and be in a band. On Friday, campers will put on a show for family, friends and fans and perform the songs their band has been working on all week. The show will take place in the evening at a local rock venue, giving your child a true rock star experience!
