A Day at Camp



During your first day at the CityArts Toronto Rock Camp, you will be placed in a Rock Band by our professional staff. Campers are placed in bands based upon several factors:


The professional staff at the CityArts Toronto Rock Camp are experienced musicians who have played in bands, recorded CDs and toured extensively. They realize that the chemistry within any given band is important and will match TRC campers so that the spirit of fun and collaboration is always first and foremost!

Once the Rock Bands are formed, they are led by a Band Director who will guide the band throughout the week. Students are instructed by their Band Director as they rehearse, write an original song (or learn a famous song of their choice), and prepare to perform at the end of week Rock Concert!

Special Clinics:

Clinics are held in recording, songwriting, and instrument specific instruction where campers are grouped by instrument. TRC clinics are often supported by visiting professional musicians and special guests!
Art and New Media Clinic:

You've formed you Rock Band, now you need to name, market and promote it before your big concert! At the Art and New Media Clinic, TRC campers will design the promotional material for the Rock Band!

Student to Staff Ratio:

At the CityArts Toronto Rock Camp, our student to staff ratio is less than 3 to 1 and our Student to Band Leader (Professional Musician) ratio is no greater than 6:1. Please note that the TRC staff members who are not Band Leaders are also either experienced or professional musicians.
