SPEND YOUR SUMMER AT SCHOOL OF ROCK

Our team at all locations has some amazing camps on tap for summer, including themes from the Beatles, Rock 101, 80s Rock, and more!

We're looking forward to summer-like temperatures, but also the start of a series of camps. Most are open to musicians of all ages and abilities. Some are tailored for our more advanced students. Hope this list can help you figure out what works for you and your schedule. All camps are one week except the Rookies (three days).

Students will be rocking out all day and getting comfortable with their instruments and songs for the week. Camp wraps up with a concert for the community. We're still figuring out where the performances will be, stay tuned! Sign up today because camps are filling fast or already full.
