About This Camp

(Ages 10 - 17) 80's Rock Camp is open to intermediate students with a minimum of 1 year of instrument experience and above.

The 80’s brought us a wave of new sounds and music genres, and produced hits that still rock the radio today… artists and bands like Billy Idol, Duran Duran, Journey, Van Halen, Flock of Seagulls, Queen, and more. In 80’s Rock Camp for intermediate to advanced musicians ages 10-17, you will get a chance to learn some of the classics from the great artists of that decade! The camp is open to musicians and vocalists that have a minimum of one year’s instrument and/or voice experience with a knowledge of chords, rhythm, and melody.

Led by our amazing instructor Mike Manocchi (guitarist) and veteran girls band member Julie Dolan (keys), students will explore their instruments through song learning, rehearsal tips, stage presence, and activities.

We will be at a fun, family friendly venue for the week…one of the private event rooms at Line Creek Bus Barn at 300 City Center Pkwy in Fayetteville.

This camp week is a great way to enhance your performance skills or discover your inner rock star! Students will work on songs Monday through Friday and the camp will finish on stage with a performance at the end of the week for family and friends. Register now – spots per instrument are limited! Don’t miss out on this super fun opportunity this summer.
