If your child is ages 7 to 10, why not have them spend a week of fun jammin' out in their very own rock band, designing their own marketing packet, and participating in team building activities - all while learning from the best professional musicians in your area. That's what Camp Jam Kidz is all about ' a bunch of kidz, having a good time while learning how to rock out!
Monday morning begins with friendly and professional staff introductions. The kidz have a chance to meet and briefly get to know the other campers as they listen to songs from the Camp Jam Kidz song list.
Next, we will identify your child by his or her instrument preference. (Remember, there is no experience necessary at Camp Jam Kidz. Kidz can play whatever they want.) We then put the kidz into their bands for the week. Each band chooses a song to work on, and then they decide on their very own band name. (Kidz come up with some of the best band names.) Then it's time to get the show on the road.
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.
