Forms and Information

ABOUT SUMMER ROCK CAMP

Over the course of two weeks, young rockers engage in a hands-on environment where they learn real performance and recording techniques while experiencing the joys and challenges of being in a rock band. Campers will have the opportunity to form bands with their peers, learn songs from their favorite artists, enhance their musical skills, and create their band's unique identity and logo. They will work alongside some of Santa Fe's top professional musicians, who will share their expertise and knowledge, providing invaluable insight into the music industry and potential career paths.
