Tucked away in the breathtaking Adirondack Mountains, Long Lake offers young musicians the ultimate chance to fulfill that fantasy we all have of being a rock star — screaming fans, big stages, and a spotlight just for you.
As the longest-running youth rock band program in the U.S., join the hundreds of kids who get to live their dreams every summer and the parents who get to see their kids absolutely crushing it out there.
A Rock Camp Like No Other
Long Lake has more than just expert instructors; here you get to be part of a real band, performing live on stage every single week. Playing to a cheering crowd of your friends and fellow campers, indoors and outdoors.
No auditions, no pressure — just the freedom to express yourself, explore your sound, and grow as a musician in a non-competitive, judgment-free space.
Live the Life — Every Week
Perform at professional venues with full lighting and sound, and experience the rush of live performance again and again. Parents get to witness the magic too, watching their kids shine on stage and show off their talent at the final concert and make memories for the whole family.
Real Performances, Real Growth
With multiple performance venues and rehearsals every day, you’ll have the chance to:
- Work closely with professional musicians and mentors
- Take your music home with you through our top-notch recording studio
- Practice in fully-equipped rehearsal studios
- Perform in different styles and genres — from classic rock to modern indie, punk, metal, blues, and beyond
- Collaborate with fellow campers to create original music or cover your favorite songs
Each week brings new shows, new opportunities, and new confidence.
Flexible Scheduling & Camp Sessions All Summer
Long Lake offers multiple sessions throughout the summer, ranging from three to six weeks. With flexible scheduling, campers can customize their stay and get the full rock band experience no matter how long they attend.
Want to stay all summer and become a camp legend? You can. Prefer a shorter session to test the waters? That’s fine too.
Expert Instruction, Without the Pressure
Long Lake’s rock program is led by experienced musicians, educators, and recording artists who know what it takes to perform, connect with an audience, and inspire. There’s no audition required, so every camper is welcome, regardless of skill level.
This approach helps build confidence and musical ability in a way that’s fun, uplifting, and empowering.
Scholarships & Financial Aid Make It Possible
