Summer camp meets Spinal Tap as you journey to Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp in Rock Camp: The Movie where dreamers from across America and around the world gather to shred with their heroes - and learn to rock like the legends. Rock Camp is an institution and cultural phenomenon that has been going on in Los Angeles, New York, and other cities since 1996. Music producer David Fishof, Rock Camp boasts a jaw-dropping array of rockstar “counselors” that include: Roger Daltrey, Alice Cooper, Paul Stanley, and Gene Simmons, Nancy Wilson, Joe Perry, Jeff Beck, Slash, and countless other rock legends for the film. The counselors teach, inspire, and jam with the campers over four days. Each Rock Camp concludes with all of the counselors and their respective campers performing together.

“OWC is honored to partner with the NAMM Foundation and Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp,” said Larry O’Connor, Founder and CEO of OWC. “Both Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp and NAMM Foundation are excellent companies focusing on music education and charity, making them an exceptional solution for a great cause.”

About RRFC

Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp was born in 1997 out of David Fishof’s desire to give the public the experience of feeling like a rock star by being in a real band and jamming with actual rock stars for four days and gaining knowledge and having fun along the way. RRFC has brought people together from all walks of life with legends Gene Simmons, Jeff Beck, Paul Stanley, Steven Tyler, Slash, and more. These musicians teach, inspire, and jam with the campers over four days, concluding in pre-COVID19 times a live performance at a famous venue. The RRFC experience takes music lovers from the spectator to the stage and allows them to share the limelight with their musical heroes.
