Rock to the Future summer camps use music to inspire kids and teens to find what they love and who they want to be. Students will form bands and spend a week playing and writing music, taking part in creative workshops, making new friends, singing in the choir, and meeting future mentors. 

  • No cost for Philadelphia youth, beginners welcome, and instruments are provided
  • Meals and transportation are provided
  • Both camps are one week, M-F 9am – 3pm
  • Family and friends are invited to the final performance, Friday 5pm-6pm
  • Learn to play guitar, bass, drums, or piano
  • Form a band and write music together
  • Attend creative workshops and learn from guest musicians
  • Perform live on stage at the last day of camp!

Both camps are co-ed with no experience necessary (beginner to advanced students are welcome!) and all instruments are provided.

Rock to the Future believes that music education should be available for every student no matter their age, ability, or address. Programs are provided at no cost for Philadelphia students. Students need reliable transportation to and from camp. If you need a transportation pass, daily lunch, or early drop off / late pick up, please let us know when you fill out the application.

Registration for summer camps usually opens in February. Space is limited to 40 students in each camp. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.
