Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp
The Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp is an interactive musical event that takes place in various cities throughout the United States; in addition to London, England; and the Atlantis Paradise Island resort in The Bahamas. The events range from two to six days. A "Rock Star For A Day" experience is being offered in Las Vegas for 90 minutes and up.
In October 2012 Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp opened a permanent location in Las Vegas, NV. The location includes 10 recording and rehearsal studios as well as a large sound stage that can accommodate up to 150 persons.
Attendees play, write and record music in a recording studio alongside famous talent from the music industry, culminating in an event where attendees perform live on stage. On evenings, attendees learn song writing, receive additional instrument training, and hear from industry speakers.
The event is targeted at players of any talent level. It is geared more toward adults, with the average attendee age being between 35 and 55. Founded in 1997 by David Fishof, approximately 6,000 people have thus far participated. A television-documentary series, Rock N' Roll Fantasy Camp, produced by Mark Burnett Productions, has aired on VH1 Classic for 2 Seasons. The "Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp All-Stars" gave a live performance at the 2009 Screen Actors Guild Post Awards Party.

Famous quotes containing the words rock, roll, fantasy and/or camp:
““O what unlucky streak
Twisting inside me, made me break the line?
What was the rock my gliding childhood struck,
And what bright unreal path has led me here?””
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Rock ‘n’ roll is a combination of good ideas dried up by fads, terrible junk, hideous failings in taste and judgment, gullibility and manipulation, moments of unbelievable clarity and invention, pleasure, fun, vulgarity, excess, novelty and utter enervation.”
—Greil Marcus (b. 1945)
“Religion is doing; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he “lives” his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy.”
—George Gurdjieff (c. 1877–1949)
“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)
