  • Ten days of total creative immersion.

  • 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 write one or more songs and learn a cover sogn to perform at a Rock Camp Music Festival on August 7th and again on August 8th.
  • Kids will participate in a Rock Star photo shoot.
  • The event will be films and Rock Camp DVDs will be made available for purchase.

    Hi PJ! I have an 8 year old I think would be interested in your Little Rockers Group. What level should he be at to even apply? A phone call would be easier for me than an email since I use my Mom’s computer (and email)….906.231.7462 Thank you! Marilyn

    Dear Rock Camp Founders:

    A dear family friend forwarded the site to me.
    Brilliant idea! The Arts make the world a better place, give kids focus,
    and help them be better students and better citizens.
    This truly is an inspired idea. You should make a promotional video
    to help other communities start a similar program and/or donate to this one.
    Keep up the good work.
    Gail L. McMahon
