Camp Amped is more than just a music camp
Our instructors work with the campers to not only provide the tools and knowledge to be competent musicians, but also with the skills and the opportunities for them to learn how to be effective communicators, aware leaders, and good people.
Our Programs are Designed to:
- Build confidence and self-esteem
- Encourage participants to develop positive habits for good mental health
- Provide guidance about the music industry
- Improve practice techniques and performance skills
- Nurture students’ interest in and passion for music and performing
- Create a fun and unique experience for students throughout the year
Finding the right fit
While the goals are all the same, we have tailored our programs to be accommodating to any level of musician at a range of different ages.
The 2 Week Summer Session of our flagship program Camp Amped is for 6th through rising 12th graders. These sessions are for students who are comfortable enough with their musical ability to play in 2 bands with peers of all ages. Coming to Nuçi’s Space for an informal musical interview, or submitting a video is required for these sessions of camp. Find a short video explaining what to expect here. Personal performance video guidelines here in pdf format.
Camp Amplify is an extension of our 2 week summer program specifically for students who are interested in music production and audio engineering. This program runs parallel to Camp Amped with the Camp Amplify students getting a full hands on experience recording bands, learning about live sound and mixing and mastering.
Camp Amped After School and The Summer Half Day Sessions are perfect for 6th through rising 12th graders who are curious about camp and playing music with their peers, but might feel a little bit intimidated about a full 2 week program. These sessions are always a blast with bands coming together around a specific theme or genre of covers. There is no interview or video submission requirement for these sessions of camp, but registration is first come first served.
Sound Check, our intermediate level camp, is for 5th, 6th and 7th graders who are brand new to playing music in a band setting but maybe have some experience with their instrument. This is a great next step in our programs if your student has participated in the Pre-Amped Program or if they are less experienced on their instrument.
The Mikey Houser Pre-Amped Music Program is for young 4th and 5th grade musicians with no experience but a curiosity for music and desire to try something new. We hold this free of charge music education program at the Boys and Girls club and other locations around the Athens Community.
Who can attend Camp Amped?
In order to attend, you must have a basic knowledge of your instrument and feel comfortable enough with your musical ability to be able to play with other young musicians.
Due to the high demand for our summer program, all summer applicants must participate in an interview as part of the application process. Acceptance is based on availability and proper instrumentation in each session.
Why should I come to Camp Amped?
Do you want to be part of a band and perform together on stage?
Do you want to learn how to focus on your leadership growth as well as team building growth?
Do you want to learn how to effectively communicate and learn conflict-resolution techniques that can be used in the band setting and in everyday life?
Do you want to learn from some of the most talented, prominent, practicing, and professional musicians in the legendary Athens Music Scene
The aim of our youth programs is to support the mission of Nuçi’s Space by focusing on serving young musicians in our community.
