| Camp Address 1 Ballibay Road Camptown, Pennsylvania 18815 USA (570) 746-3223 |
The Rock Farm (TRF) is The Ballibay Camps' two-week Rock Music intensive. TRF's program offers daily lessons in guitar, drums, and/or bass guitar; songwriting and improvisation classes; staff-directed bands; and great performance and recording opportunities. Campers spend most of their day in band rehearsals, music lessons, and individual practice time; while still having time each day to try other activity areas. We are located on a beautiful mountaintop in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Camp meals emphasize health, seasonality, whole local ingredients and sustainability. An on-site garden provides some produce and opportunities for camper participation.
The two weeks include three performances for rock intensive campers: a Band Night in which all of the staff-directed camper bands perform, a Cabaret in which camper-formed bands can perform, and a Solo and Duet Cafe.
Intensive campers also can participate in theatrical evenings of short play readings, monologues, and poetry. During the intensive there is also a Bonfire with performances, a Movie Night, a DJ Dance, and several nights of theatre productions performed by The Ballibay Camps’ three and four week campers.
The Rock Farm is offered in three separate two-week sessions. Arrangements may be made for 4- and 6-week sessions combining several intensives; please contact camp for details.
Please find more details on our facilities on our website. We are open year round for visits.
Our staff members are predominantly educators and university students from the United States, although we also have a strong international component to our staff. Our staff members come to us with outstanding credentials: professional experience, a background in teaching, and/or exceptional skills in their specialties.
