Rock n Roll Camp Jobs /

The Rock Farm's program offers daily lessons in guitar, drums, and/or bass guitar; songwriting and improvisation classes; staff-directed bands; and great performance and recording opportunities.

Campers spend most of their day in band rehearsals, music lessons, and individual practice time; while still having time each day to try other activity areas offered by TRF's sister camp, Camp Ballibay. The TRF session includes three performances for rock intensive campers: a Band Night in which all of the staff-directed camper bands perform, a Cabaret in which camper-formed bands can perform, and a Showcase of "unplugged" works-in-progress.

Most staff are hired as Ballibay staff as well as TRF staff. The TRF session is 2 weeks, while Ballibay sessions range from 3 to 9 weeks in length. We offer 8-11 week contracts to our staff.

Benefits:
Staff members receive 1 day off per week and every other night off. All camp facilities are available to staff members during their time off, except horseback riding. The food is excellent for omnivores and vegetarians alike. On-campus facilities specifically for staff members include laundry, computers, e-mail, a phone, and a comfy lounge with a TV/VCR, refrigerator, pool table, and more.

Staff members are mostly graduate and undergraduate students, teachers, and professionals in their fine and performing arts fields. Average staff age is early-twenties, but we do have staff in their late twenties and thirties; and several camp parents are also staff members. Staff work cooperatively and collaboratively, and share many wonderful experiences with each other and with the kids throughout the summer. Many staff return year after year to work with us. We offer 8-11 week contracts beginning June 15 or June 22, 2008.

The Rock Farm has three sister camps: Ballibay, Endless Mountains Dance Camp, and The Farm Arts Camp. Most staff will work with children from multiple camps.
