Where is camp?

JamStage music complex and practice space is located at 25 Esten Ave. in Pawtucket, RI, less than 5 miles from downtown Providence off of I-95.  Their facility was created specifically for musicians.  Each room is soundproofed, and includes professional musical equipment, as well as the ability to record practices.  JamStage also has… you guessed it!  A stage!  With great lights and a professional sound system.  We think you will enjoy your rock experience there quite a bit!  For more info visit www.jamstage.net.

How much is camp?

Tuition for the week is $300 plus a $10 application fee. For families who can afford to pay more we encourage you to do so. The camp is run completely by a volunteer staff of coordinators, artists, and musicians.  Whether you can give $5 more or $5,000 more, every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated!  Any contribution amount above $500 is tax deductible.

Is financial aid available?

Yes.  We offer reduced tuition on a sliding scale based on the participant's household income.

What is reduced tuiton and sliding scale?

We offer two types of reduced tuition, No Pay and Partial Pay.  These will be awarded by GRR! staff and are based on household income.  Families awarded Partial Pay reduced tuition will pay what they can between $50 and $300.  We have worksheets available to help families determine what makes sense based on their household income.  Contact for more informaiton.

How many reduced tuition spots are available?

Space at this session is limited to 30 participants and we will award 10 no pay spots, 10 partial pay spots, and 10 full pay spots.

When is the tuition payment due?

Full payment is due by June 10th.  If you do not pay in full by the deadline we will be forced to cancel your acceptance into the camp and give your spot to another camper.

What if I am accepted but I don't get my first choice of instrument?

We do our best to help everyone get her first choice instrument, but that is not always possible, and sometimes campers will have to play their second choice instrument as a way to make cohesive bands.

When will I know if I got in?

If you apply online we will email you a notification that your registration has been received within one week of the date on your registration.  We will also mail out notifications to every applicant to inform you of the status of your acceptance.  Registration closes on May 13th and the final list of campers will go out on June 3rd.

What if I need to cancel?

If you need to cancel, please notify the office right away.  If you have submitted your payment and would like a refund, you must cancel IN WRITING.  If you cancel before June 24th we will refund 50% of your payment.  If you cancel after June 24th we cannot refund your payment.  Also, full payment is due by June 10th.  If you have not paid in full by this date, you will lose your spot, as there are many other rockers who'd be happy to have it!

I didn't get in, is there a waitlist?

If you didn't get into this session we will keep a short waitlist in case there are any last minute cancellations. This list is only active for this years session and you will have to re-register next year.
