“I developed the Camp Jam program with input from some of the best rock musicians in the country, including Liberty Devitto (drummer for Billy Joel), Jim Peterik (guitar/vocals/songwriter for Survivor), Chuck Leavell (keyboards for the
Rolling Stones), Ed King (guitarist for Lynyrd Skynyrd and recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee) Derek St Holmes (lead vocals/guitar for Ted Nugent) and Brian Howe (lead singer for Bad Company). Whether your young musician is already an advanced player, hasn’t practiced in months or just started playing in the past 6 months, I’m confident that
Camp Jam will challenge and nurture them like never before”
JEFF CARLISICamp Jam Co-Founder
Original guitarist and songwriter for the classic rock band 38 Special
