Here what kids and parents can expect from the 2010 Rock Camp:

• Ten days of total creative immersion.
• Kids will be jamming with other kids of similar interests and talent in a professional rock environment.
• We will provide drums, guitars, basses, keys, and microphones, but if you have an ax or rig you want to use… bring ‘em!
• Kids will be guided through song structure, arrangements, key and time signatures.
• Kids will be grouped into bands of their liking and relative skill level and have rehearsal schedules – kids are expected to work very hard on their music.
• Rehearsals will have guidance by real musicians, not blow-up plastic dolls!
• There will be guitar, bass, drum, and vocal workshops.
• Kids will learn beginning music theory class taught by Dr. Milton Olsson (that’s PJ’s Dad)

• Kids will participate in a Rock Star photo shoot.
• The event will be filmed and Rock Camp DVDs will be made available for purchase.
