Camp Jam on MTV !!!!

An MTV Jam

Atlanta-based Camp Jam is getting some nice national exposure today via MTV. The network's "True Life" doc series is featuring the chain of rock 'n' roll camps on the show's latest segment, "Camp'd Out - I'm Going to Rock Camp." As locals know, Camp Jam is the brainchild of 38 Special guitarist/songwriter Jeff Carlisi and business partner Dan Lipson. The camps provide a unique summer experience for teens. Camp Jam started in Atlanta in 2004 and has since expanded into 18 cities across North America.....

We're told that MTV cameras followed kids around at the Camp Jam overnight rock camp in Chicago this past summer, "capturing the kids learning from rock stars how to be in a band, record and write songs, develop stage presence and put on a concert in front of friends and family at the end of the week." One Atlantan featured prominently in the episode? Local indie rocker Nick Niespodziani from the band Y.O.U. The concert finale of the MTV episode was shot at the House of Blues in Chicago.
