The 2025 R&RI Summer Camp is a weeklong, daytime camp for young aspiring artists aged 12 to 20. A typical camp day begins with a Master Class taught by some of the finest musicians and music educators from the Northern Illinois area. The rest of the day is spent with your band, learning three songs to perform at the end-of-week concert, guided by an adult instructor.

On average, we have a 4:1 camper-to-instructor ratio, which guarantees plenty of personalized assistance for our campers. Together, we work hard throughout the week, and come Friday evening, we climb on the stage to perform for our friends and family!

Not only that, our camp provides optional performance opportunities for our campers throughout the community, throughout the summer.

🔥 Our Kids Rock HARD! 🔥
R&RI concerts are usually standing room only. We can't reserve seats, and have no control over venue seating. Our venues typically remove seated areas for our crowd. ⚠️ Week 2 will 100% be standing room only!
