Camp Crew Blog: Epiphone Guitar Clinics

Hey everyone! Tori, here. So towards the end of our summer 2010 tour, I got the chance to check out the guitar clinic, sponsored by Epiphone Guitars! It was so awesome that the kids at the camp really got a chance to interact with the bands… and while learning how to play guitar! At each camp, groups of kids would get together for a guitar lesson which is instructed by one of the bands or musicians on tour. Each kid was able to learn a few chords on an acoustic guitar courtesy of Epiphone and jam away with some of the artists performing on tour, such as Josiah Rea, Rachel Platten, Michael of Michael and Marisa, Highbench and more. Some of the kids even learned a few chords to the theme song of Camplified sponsor EdisonLearning titled, “The Power of You.” It was a great opportunity for the campers, and I hope it inspires kids to take up a musical instrument back home… maybe even start their own band. Who knows, perhaps they’ll be playing on the Camplified tour a few years from now! -Tori

Camp Crew member Tori, here! Question for you — what do you get when you combine history, mystery and fun?! You get Cartoon Network‘s unbelievable new series Unnatural History! I’ve been lucky to take this new series all over New England and the Midwest to various summer camps during the Camplified 2010 tour. Lemme tell you, campers are going crazy for this new show, which is about a young world traveler with unbelievable skills who comes to America to navigate his way through high school. If you have ever tried to get the undivided attention of 50 to 100 young campers… you know how hard it can be. Yet Unnatural History is able to captivate these campers to no end. The show has made the campers inquisitive about nature, while having them laughing at the edge of their seats — they always leave wanting more! After the campers view the UN episode, they anxiously anticipate the iSpy questions where they can win awesome prizes and receive free giveaways, courtesy of Cartoon Network. These include fake CN tattoos and cool Unnatural History compasses, which obviously come in handy when navigating your way through the woods at camp! You can catch new episodes of Unnatural History on Tuesday nights at 8pm EST on Cartoon Network. -Tori

Camp Crew Blog: Cirque du Soleil Gets Camplified!

Hi there! Tour Manager Mike here, reporting straight from the road. We are extremely excited to offer a new and exciting activity for the second half of the Camplified 2010 tour! On behalf of Madison Square Garden and Cirque du Soleil‘s hit Wintuk extravaganza, each of our remaining tour dates will feature a hula-hoop contest, complete with amazing prizes. The pre-show excitement at JCC Camp Ruach yesterday was off-the-charts as the campers walked in with their parents for the Camplified show! These lucky campers were the first to experience the fun of the blue and white signature hula hoops so generously given to us by Cirque du Soleil. Judged on creativity, time and overall skill, the grand-prize winner of the hula contest received a set of four tickets to the Wintuk show this fall at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. The campers were most certainly competitive — Cody Simpson‘s younger brother, Tom, even got in on the fun! The contest runners up were given really cool Lamp Post flashlights — official Cirque du Soleil merchandise — which will come in handy for those camp overnights in the bunks. But don’t worry, if you’re not a camper and are unable to hit up one of the Camplified shows, we’ll be giving away some Wintuk tickets during an upcoming Freebie Friday contest on our Twitter. Follow us @Camplified to stay in the hoop… er, loop! -Mike
Camp Danbee Rocks Out At Camplified
Saturday, July 24th, 2010As you know, Cody Simpson rocked it Camp Danbee last week! The same can most definitely be said for the rest of the day’s bands and activities at the all girls’ residential camp located in Hinsdale, MA, which consisted of Stardoll fun, activities and giveaways sponsored by Penguin Young Readers and Scholastic, a guitar clinic sponsored by Epiphone and so much more. Thomas Fiss and Highbench also joined Cody Simpson on stage, much to the girls’ delight!
