Check out this awesome video our Camp Crew put together from our first week at camp!

And it honestly makes me want to chug about 12 cans of their new Sparkling Fruit Juice. Available in Sparkling Apple, Sparkling Berry and Sparkling Orange, it’s a sweet way to beat the heat this summer! If your mouth is watering for some, too, you’ll have a chance to win a case of 24 cans of Juicy Juice this Friday during our Camplified Freebie Friday giveaway on Twitter.

Camp Crew Blog: Hello From The Road!!!

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Hello from the road!!! My name is Holly, and I’m part of the road crew that is bringing Camplified to a camp near you. So far, we have visited seven camps, and every day is so much fun! Not only does the crew help out with the music, setting up the bands and such, but we also bring the activities to life that the campers participate in. Of course, we also make time to jump in the lake and bounce on the trampoline with artists like Josiah Rea.

I spend much of my time helping out at the Penguin Books tent, and my favorite activity to do there is make luggage tags. I’ve been teaching the campers to make luggage tags out of duct tape and everyday the kids get more and more creative! I have seen tags in the shape of guitars, puppies, names, boxes and one girl even made an actual purse. The idea for the luggage tags was inspired by the Penguin book by Robin Palmer, Yours Truly, Lucy B. Parker: Girl Vs. Superstar, because, just like campers, Lucy uses her backpacks and suitcases to travel. Luggage tags not only decorate your bag, but they could save you from losing your bag forever!

I am so excited to see what ideas the campers come up with next. I’ll have to keep you posted… for now, check out some of my personal photos from the tour, below. -Holly

NOW ANNOUNCING THE CAMPLIFIED 2010 TOUR

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

With Atlantic Recording Artist Cody Simpson

Entering Its Ninth Season On The Road, The Camplified Tour Will Be Playing In Front Of
More Than 30,000 Teens And Tweens At Over 30 Different Summer Camps Across The Nation

NEW YORK, NY — Ready to embark on its ninth summer tour, Camplified is set to rock teens and tweens at over 30 camps across the United States, July 5 through August 13. Each tour stop features a host of talented musicians and bands, along with a broad spectrum of some of today’s hottest brands and corporate sponsors. The result is a true VIP concert experience, complete with meet and greets, contests, giveaways and more.

The brainchild of music executive Aimee Berger, Camplified originated in 2001 when Berger, frustrated by the lack of finances devoted to artist development within the record industry, created a grassroots marketing effort that could benefit more than just emerging musicians. Berger partnered with Primary Wave Music in 2008 to expand the Camplified experience with corporate sponsors, as well as create a broad digital community at Camplified.com where campers, bands and brands are able to interact and stay in touch long after summer camp ends.

The 2010 music schedule for Camplified highlights an array of talented up-and-comers, including new Atlantic recording artist Cody Simpson. With nearly 6 million views on YouTube, Simpson recently released his first single, “iYiYi,” featuring Flo Rida. This will be his first public tour. “I am so excited to go on my first-ever tour,” enthuses Simpson. “Having the opportunity to perform live is something I’ve been dreaming about since I first started playing guitar and singing.” (more…)

Camplified ’09 pulls through Oakland to visit Camp Matoaka!

Saturday, August 8th, 2009

Our time in Oakland, ME continued today as we visited Camp Manitou’s all-girls sister camp. The girls involved in today’s Camplified tour stop ranged in ages from 7 – 16 – and they were ALL excited. It was a great environment to walk in to! There were some talented musicians-in-the-making who taught us some tricks on MTV’s Rockband. A few of our own Camplified musicians were playing some tricks of their own with our sponsor HP’s MediaSmart Software.

Oh no, they're multiplying!

Next up, we had autograph and signing sessions with all of the musicians. Each musician visited with each camper who came by – it was pretty special to see the artist-fan interaction. Here, Taylor Bright takes a goofy picture with some happy fans.

Everyone say cheese!

Today’s afternoon concert was pretty exciting. The girls were already super fans of Taylor and Misha Williams – they walked around camp singing the songs!

Misha started the show and got all the girls out of their seats
