Despite uncertainty from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, The Candyman is moving forward with plans to host the 2022 season of Summer Rock Camp. We are holding hope that all elements of camp will be enjoyed as designed, but cannot guarantee in-person radio station interviews, recording studios, or concerts at this time. We're keeping our fingers crossed!

This year we are waiving the $100 deposit to register. Once we get closer to camp time and can determine with confidence that camp will proceed as planned, we will send an invoice for the camp fee. Payment in full will be required to guarantee your slot in camp.

Because of the ever changing environment, we expect to loose a few registrants as we near June. Therefore, we may overbook one or more slots. In the event this becomes the case, priority will be given to registration date. We will communicate with registrants if this becomes the case. We will also be sure to contact you if unforeseen circumstances prevent us from hosting Summer Rock Camp this year.

Feel free to email Cindy at cindy@candymansf.com with questions.​

We look forward to rocking out with you this summer!

Rockers spend 2 weeks working in a hands-on environment, learning real performance and recording techniques, and the joys and complexities of being in a rock band. Campers will enjoy forming a band with peers, learning new songs from their favorite bands, improving their skills, and developing their band’s identity and logo all the while working with some of the top professional working musicians of Santa Fe. This access to established music professionals, who will share their experience and knowledge, will help young musicians understand some of the options open to them in the music industry.

During Summer Rock Camp, some of the activities rockers will experience are:​

​

• Recording a CD at professional audio recording facilities including Kitchen Sink Studios and Frogville Records

• Visiting 98.1 Radio Free Santa Fe for an on-air interview (and having a song from their CD played live on air to promote the concert finale!)

• Performing in a live concert at an all ages venue at Tumbleroot

• Enjoy Pizza and Ice Cream Fridays (Pizzas sponsored by Upper Crust Pizza)

• Receive a concert poster and VIP concert badge printed by Image Ratio

​

Rockers (and parents) will also enjoy online viewing and downloads of all photos taken throughout camp, concert videos and photos, and digital downloads of recorded albums. New this year, we will no longer be filming behind the scenes videos, but will take plenty of photos!

​

Camp sessions are 2 weeks long, 4 hours a day, Monday through Friday with a concert finale on Saturday. Rockers will be placed in either a morning session (9:00am to 1:00pm) or an afternoon session (2:00am to 6:00pm). In an effort to place students in the best band for them to enjoy the best camp experience possible, we are unable to take requests for morning or afternoon sessions. However, we generally place younger participants in morning bands.
