Camp Electric This Summer



“An all access pass to a total music experience," best describes the unique concept of Camp Electric, a ground breaking Christian worship and rock & roll summer music camp being hosted for youth aged 13-18, at Trevecca University in Nashville, June 29th-July 3rd.

 ‘Inter-action’ is the key emphasis at Camp Electric-- an event targeted to bring a unique mix of nightly concerts by top Christian rock bands, and top Christian musicians to teach instructional sessions. The ‘all access’ schedule will offer five power packed days of hands-on music/ministry instruction, worship, personalized tips and tune-ups, and overall encouragement to spiritual and performance excellence for young musicians seeking to perfect their skills on vocals, keyboards, drums, bass, and guitar.  Camp registrants will have ample informally organized ‘hang time’ with their professional instructors as well as the opportunity to personally jam with their favorite musicians.

Major chart topping groups set to perform in the nightly concert presentations include TobyMac, Skillet, Pillar, Leeland, Phil Joel, Britt Nicole, and a to-be-announced ‘mystery artist.’  Leading Christian author/youth minister, David Nasser, will also be on campus to speak at the event. Camp Electric is being produced by The Premier Group, America’s top producer of Christian themed events, and presented by K-LOVE and Air 1 Radio, the leading voice of Christian radio under the EMF Broadcasting banner.

Camp Electric will be conducted as a full-on ‘campus experience.’  The five days of activities will be totally staged onsite at Nashville Trevecca University campus and will be staffed with adult chaperones.  Accomodations are available on campus for the first 500 registrants. Instructors include some of the top road/studio musicians in today’s Christian market, hand picked by event presenters for their passion for teaching, modeling Christianity through communication in music, and keeping God central in their personal lives and roles within the music industry as professional musicians.
