Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year! Since it began, the camp has brought together musicians and rock stars in rehearsal rooms and studios. Participants get to jam and perform on stage with their idols. The 2026 camps will feature big names like Roger Daltrey from The Who, Stewart Copeland from The Police, and Tommy Lee from Mötley Crüe as headliners.
David Fishof started this amazing program 30 years ago after years in the music business. Thousands of fans have picked up guitars, sat behind drum kits, and played alongside their heroes. “For 30 years, Rock Camp has been about one thing — changing lives through music,” Fishof said. “We’ve seen people rediscover their passion, gain confidence, and fulfill dreams they never thought possible. The artists also find joy in giving back.”
The late Jeff Beck called the camp “the best way to give back” for all that music had given him. Roger Daltrey shared in the documentary Rock Camp how the experience takes him back to his early days. Gene Simmons expressed his wish that something like this existed when he was young, so artists could learn from veterans.
Fishof is always amazed by the diverse people who join the camp. “We’ve had government leaders, professors, doctors, tech pioneers, and many talented women musicians. Rock Camp shows that music isn’t about age, gender, or profession. It’s all about passion.”
The camp has been featured on shows like The Simpsons, Billions, and Saturday Night Live. The Today Show even ran a segment on it, and Pawn Stars mentioned it too. A free documentary is now streaming on YouTube. For dates and details about the upcoming camps and instructors, check out the official website.
