Camp Jam
Camp Jam is a rock ‘n’ roll summer day and overnight camp for kids and teens (in 22 cities in 2012). This camp provides teens a place to convene with other aspiring musicians, bands, and vocalists, honing their musical chops by learning from and performing with professional musicians with experience in the industry while at the same time promoting skills such as teamwork and communication. The camp is five days long (overnight program is 7 days) and has instruction in guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, and vocals as well as a songwriting clinic, an open mic showcase, a class on performance skills and a course in audio engineering and production. Sessions currently take place in Atlanta, GA; Birmingham, AL; Chicago, IL; Cleveland, OH; Dallas, TX; Denver, CO; Fairfield, CT; Houston, TX; Montreal, Quebec; Orange County, CA; Orlando, FL; Phoenix, AZ; Pittsburgh, PA; St. Louis, MO; and Washington, DC. The Atlanta branch was the original location of Camp Jam.

Famous quotes containing the words camp and/or jam:
“A healthy man, with steady employment, as wood-chopping at fifty cents a cord, and a camp in the woods, will not be a good subject for Christianity. The New Testament may be a choice book to him on some, but not on all or most of his days. He will rather go a-fishing in his leisure hours. The Apostles, though they were fishers too, were of the solemn race of sea-fishers, and never trolled for pickerel on inland streams.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The rule is, jam tomorrow and jam yesterday—but never jam today.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
