FAQ
General
Q: What if I don't have my own instrument?
A: We can lend you
one. We have a no-cost instrument loan program for basses, guitars and
keyboards. The rock camp has plenty of drum sets, amps, cords and DJ
records you can use while you are here, but these do not get checked out.
Our supply of equipment is limited. You are welcome and encouraged to
bring your own equipment and accessories if you have them. We can also
refer you to some rental shops and music stores around town.
Q: Do you offer Financial Aid?
A: Yes. Our Financial Aid is based
on financial need. Visit our Financial Aid page for details.
Q: How do I get to the rock camp site?

Rock Camp Studio
Q: If I was an intern at GRI or Summer Camp, can I still attend Rock
Camp Studio?
A: Yes!
Q: What's the new "Recording Engineer Track" all about?

instrument instruction and some band practice, but will also learn how to
record bands using methods ranging from 2 track analog to multi track,
computer based Cubase.
Q: How else is Rock Camp Studio different?
A: This camp is much
smaller--only 50 campers will be in the building compared to 75. Classes
are smaller and more advanced, band practice is longer and more
self-directed, workshops are either advanced or totally new, and you will
get a recording of all the rad camper band songs, including yours, at the
end of the week.
Q: Is there still a Showcase?
A: Yes!
Q: How much is it?
A: Tuition is $400 per camper.

A: Yes. Please download, fill out,
and send in our financial aid application. We make every attempt to
accomodate everyone regardless of ability to pay.
Q: Is Rock Camp
Studio going to be as fun as regular Summer Camp?
A: YES! You'll
probably recognize many of the girls attending, and everyone there is more
than familiar with the Rock Camp way of life. Some of you will have
attended over 5 sessions of Rock Camp! This is your chance to take what
you know from your experience at Rock Camp and really rule the school.
