Night at the Rock Opera is back for chapter VII! Join us on the thrilling journey of writing and producing an original rock opera from scratch in just one week! Campers will work together to write a storyline accompanied by original songs—how cool is that? By the end of the week, our campers will be ready to hit the stage with an amazing musical performance that will capture the hearts of their audience and ignite the imagination!
We’ll spend the week delving into the heart of the Rock Opera genre by watching classic excerpts, participating in improvisation games, designing imaginative costumes and props, and learning how to sing with the edginess and precise inflection that a rock opera requires! Our instructors will carefully guide the campers through the songwriting process, helping them create a show's worth of original, story-driven music while encouraging self-expression and artistic freedom along the way. Their debut performance at the end of the week promises to be a one-of-a-kind show-stopper, showcasing not only their musical prowess but also the creativity, teamwork, and dedication they've poured into bringing their original rock opera to life.
Beginners welcome, bonus points if you play an instrument!

Camp FAQ
What will campers do during the week?
The main goal for each camp is to prepare songs or work on a performance, recording or other project for the camp concert at the end of the week. Depending on the camp, activities might include band practice, individual and group lessons, songwriting, art projects, and a variety of other enrichment activities.

How long is the camp day?
Camp runs from 9am-3pm every day except for Friday, which runs a little longer. We start the camp concert at 3pm on Fridays and tend to finish around 3:30 or 4:00. In the morning, doors open at 8:45am for early arrivals. In the afternoon we are open for lessons when the camp day ends so campers are welcome to hang out at the school after camp if need be. Please let us know if you have questions or how we can make drop off and pick up work best for your family.

What about lunch?
Campers have the option of packing a lunch, or ordering from Pizza Bellino. In an effort to avoid overwhelming the Pizza Bellino staff during their lunch rush, we plan to order a couple of full pizzas to split between the campers. For $5 we will provide 2 slices of pizza and a drink. We also offer a daily morning snack (pretzels, fruit snacks, water, juice, etc.). Please let us know on the Camper Safety Form if there are any food allergies etc.
