Rock Camp at Rockdale
A Week-Long Summer Music Camp for Teens Ages 10-15 (Experience Required)
Get ready to amplify your teen’s summer! Rock Camp at Rockdale Music is more than just a camp – it’s an immersive rock ‘n’ roll experience where teens jam, create, and perform like seasoned musicians.
Rockdale’s Summer music camps have been a favorite for kids since their inception. How do we know? They keep on coming back year after year! Not your typical day camp, Rock Camps include designing your band logo and recess is spent tossing the Frisbee or trying out a new instrument and brainstorming original song ideas.
During each week-long session, campers participate in instrument lessons, rehearsals and workshops. Just like our Rock Band classes, each Rock Camp concludes with a concert performance in front of friends and family.
