Camp Schedule and Guidelines

To our Campers… Here’s what to expect during the best week of the year!!!

Rock Camp can be confusing and intimidating when you first walk in, but don’t worry, by the end of the first day you’ll have your very own band, band managers, and you’ll start to understand your camp schedule. The Volunteers and Camp Directors are here to help you. If you feel overwhelmed, or just don’t know where to find something, just ask and we’ll help you figure it out.
