Rock-N-Roll Camp For Kids

EAST LANSING (WWJ) -  Young campers, are you ready to rock?

The Michigan State University Community Music School's Rock Camp kicks off this week with budding rockers ages 12 to 18 taking part in the five-day camp in East Lansing.

They'll get to test their mettle - heavy or otherwise - on Friday at the Common Ground Music Festival in downtown Lansing.

The campers will get tips on their technique from the Grand Rapids-based band The Outer Vibe, which performs at the festival after their young charges get a turn on-stage.

The camp is in its third year and is geared toward students with some experience singing or playing guitar, drums, keyboards or bass.
