Idol Camp is a performing arts summer camp held in 2007 in Northfield, Massachusetts on one of Northfield Mount Hermon School's campuses. This year, Idol Camp will be heading towards Pali Mountain in Running Springs, CA.
The camp offers entertainment programs such as singing, dancing, acting, and writing. The camp was created by the producers of American Idol, FremantleMedia and 19 Entertainment. The camp’s cost is $2,995 per student for 2 weeks and includes room, board, classes and souvenirs. The age limit is 10 to 15 years, and a total of 700 students. The experience at the camp will include classes with professional artists, former American Idol contestants and others in the entertainment industry. Other camp activities such as swimming and sports will also be provided at Idol Camp.
The teaching staff that ran Idol Camp in 2007 and designed its curriculum will lead an unrelated non-profit summer camp in 2008 on the Northfield Mount Hermon campus called Summer Stars Camp for the Performing Arts.

Famous quotes containing the words idol and/or camp:
“The media network has its idols, but its principal idol is its own style which generates an aura of winning and leaves the rest in darkness. It recognises neither pity nor pitilessness.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Detachment is the prerogative of an elite; and as the dandy is the nineteenth century’s surrogate for the aristocrat in matters of culture, so Camp is the modern dandyism. Camp is the answer to the problem: how to be a dandy in the age of mass culture.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
