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:
“Your mock saint who stands in a niche is not a woman if she have not suffered, still less a woman if she have not sinned. Fall at the feet of your idol as you wish, but drag her down to your level after that—the only level she should ever reach, that of your heart.”
—Emmuska, Baroness Orczy (1865–1947)
“Usually the scenery about them is drear and savage enough; and the logger’s camp is as completely in the woods as a fungus at the foot of a pine in a swamp; no outlook but to the sky overhead; no more clearing than is made by cutting down the trees of which it is built, and those which are necessary for fuel.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
