Chappaqua Rocks is excited to offer a 1 week overnight camp for students ages 8 and up at the newly built, state-of the-art facility, Chestnut Lake Camp, located in North Eastern Pennsylvania. For the first time ever, a complete rock-n-roll music program will come together with all the benefits of a full overnight camp experience. Here, students will develop musically while having an opportunity to explore the many other activities a sleep away camp has to offer. Students will spend most of their day (and evening too!) immersed in music. They will join ensembles, take lessons, enjoy listening to staff performances and much more. They will also participate in other activities including swimming, boating, zipline, a climbing wall, scavenger hunts and campfire evenings. The week long experience will culminate with a live student performance for friends and family. Students will build lifelong memories while learning the importance of friendship, independence and cooperation with others. This amazing experience will give each student a chance to break from the daily routine at home and bond with others who share a similar interest.
