Camps

First Gig Rock Camp
Led by 20+ musicians who have years of studio and live performance experiences, you will enjoy a week full of learning and fun. You’ll be placed in a band with other students and lead by an experienced professional musician. Throughout the week you will work with your band and band leader to develop your band’s live show. Working collectively to pick songs, a band name, band image and how to execute the live performance makes this camp stand out from any other summer program you will find.

Make friends…fuel your passion for music…Have fun!
