The day is a mix of group rehearsals and private instruction, as well as short bursts of games and other activities. Each camp costs $500.

Music Video Camp – Have you ever watched a music video and wished you were

in it? Ever played a song at School of Rock and wish you could create a music video to go along with it? Here’s your chance. This camp consists of two days of rehearsing the song of the week, one day of recording that song, and the final two days of filming the video on location. This camp is open to current School of Rock students in one of the intermediate to advanced performance groups. The final video is viewed Aug. 1 during a combined premier with Songwriter Camp members. Session: July 14-18.

Songwriting Camp – This camp will focus on the creative and musical process of

writing a song. Students will collaborate to come up with a theme, lyrics and music to their very own original song. The song is recorded and students take home a copy.
