About
Rock & Roll Camp focuses on students getting better at their instruments or learning to play, writing and performing original music, and putting together bands. Campers can work on rock journalism, make a camp blog, put together a camp zine, and generate video for YouTube. They also record their songs, develop a musician persona, and learn everything from how to set up sound systems to how to design and make band merchandise, with access to borrowed guitars, basses, amps, ukuleles, and drum kits.
