Camp Jam Kidz

Curriculum

Specifically for the younger age group

Professional musicians and educators designed the Camp Jam Kidz curriculum specifically for the younger age group. Many of the elements of Camp Jam for the big kids apply, including the opportunity to see real rock stars perform in master classes and the chance to take the stage at the final concert on Friday afternoon.

Each day’s activities include instrument instruction, live band rehearsals, art, songwriting, recreation time, and games. Students will learn how to work successfully as a team to have a polished final product by the Friday evening concert.

Professional counselors will instruct your child on how to get started in a real rock band situation.

Your child may first need help on how to properly hold a guitar, bass or drum stick. The proper technique is not something we take lightly. We strive to make sure kidz start rockin’ with the right habits. Or maybe your child has played for a while and is in need of some intermediate instruction. Our counselors have worked with all ages and skill levels.

Drummers are often backed up with a teacher kit. Bass players often learn a simple line while keyboardists tap out distinct melodies. Singers are instructed on the importance of projection and stage presence. We refuse to be fooled by the young age of our campers. Some are born rockers. The great majority, however, will simply need some gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement to get settled in their first full band experience.

When the bands aren’t rockin’, the creativity is still flowing. Each band will make its own professional promo packets. The contents of the packets will include a band designed logo, cd cover and insert, business card, band bio and band photo. The final packet will be on display after each band performs their song at the Friday concert. Each camper will bring home a professional marketing piece that is sure to wow family and friends.
