Registration Information

What is "Rock Camp USA?"
RME’s Rock Camp USA program features three 2-week sessions in the summer starting in July for young musicians ages 8-18. Participants rehearse their chosen songs, record them during dress rehearsal, and at the end of the session perform a concert in the Redstone Room!

Now in its twelfth year nationally and 3rd year here in Davenport, Rock Camp USA features intensive performance-oriented instruction given by professional area musicians and instructors.  Rock Camp USA has grown into one of the countries’ top Camps, offering participants this once in a lifetime experience!

This program is typically only found in New York, Austin, Chicago, and other major U.S. cities. The RME's Quad-Cities program has been incredibly successful, and we're proud to be holding our own with the big-boys! This is truly a unique and special program for the Quad-Cities.
