School of Rock is at it's core a performance-based music program.  Kids immediately walk into this School with something in common; a love of music and a desire to play with others.  Their music staff is background checked annually and work for themthroughout the year - they don't hire seasonal employees to staff our camps, so the instructors are people they are familiar with and trust, so you can feel comfortable leaving them with them for the day.

Their Easton facility is fully equipped for rockin'.  Guitarists and bassists should bring their instruments, drummers should bring sticks, but they have pretty much everything else ready!  If students want to, they can sign up for a couple of refresher lessons the week before the camp, so they are ready to go.
