Greetings from Long Island, NY! The 2010 summer may be coming to an official end, and fall is certainly upon us, but memories from the camp season will stay with us forever. Autumn is certainly a great time to reflect on the memorable moments that made this summer great! I should probably introduce myself, my name is Scott Rosenbluth, and I am one of the Directors at Camp Echo and the CEO at Camp Craze. Essentially, summer camp is my life, and I love waking up everyday to go to work FOR YOU, the campers!
I wanted to pop into the Camplified blog and tell you about one of my favorite memories from this past camp season. On July 29, 2010, the Camplified Tour rolled through the Echo gates in Bloomingburg, NY, and delivered an incredible afternoon of great music, entertainment, and a unique experience that is very rarely seen so up close and personal — especially at a SUMMER CAMP! Throughout the day, our campers and staff enjoyed interactive activities while hanging out with members of the Camplified crew and bands… How cool is that!? After a quick afternoon snack and a photo shoot with Thomas Fiss, we brought the entire camp to our Cabin Field where Highbench, Six Volt, Cody Simpson and Thomas Fiss rocked the house (well, field, but you get the point) on our stage overlooking the lake. Seeing our campers and staff rock out to Cody Simpson was something I will never forget, and if that vision didn’t do it, hearing “iYiYi” in the Dining Hall everyday, twice a day, certainly did!
Speak of Dining Hall, that’s where we went next so campers could attend the Meet & Greet with all of the bands, take some photos, get autographs, and walk away with some pretty neat stuff. It was the perfect end to another great Camp Echo day.
I have always loved the Camplified concept and am truly excited about the big 10th year! I need to send a really big shout out to Aimee and her crew who did an unbelievable job for us! Thank you for helping to make memorable moments for us this summer. I am sure you will be hearing from me again at some point down the road right here on the Camplified blog!
Signing Off For Now,
Scott
NJY Camps in Milford, PA, got a special treat when Fuse TV host Allison Hagendorf stopped by camp to interview that day’s Camplified musicians and bands including Cody Simpson, Alex York and Six Volt. Campers were psyched to chat with Allison and rock out during the Camplified concert — Cody Simpson and Thomas Fiss even performed a duet on stage! Check it out:

When we found out that Six Volt’s guitarist, Granger, attended Camp Arrowhead in Marlboro, NJ, back in the day, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to have him guest blog about his experience rocking out at camp last week. Six Volt played alongside Cody Simpson, Thomas Fiss and alternative/rock band Hollander, and the campers loved it! Check it out, through the eyes of Granger:
I remember when I was only six years old, playing and learning back at Camp Arrowhead. I never thought that I would return only to play a huge concert eight years later! As I roamed around the camp with the other SIX VOLT band members, I would point out the places where I used to hang out as a child. I felt so at home, but that was probably because I literally was but only 20 minutes away from where I grew up. Coming back to Camp Arrowhead was great — it sort of felt like I was simply jumping in my shed in the backyard and putting on a performance for the neighbors. I felt an immediate connection with the audience. It was like I already knew them, as if we were all fellow cabin mates. That’s the best thing about Camplified; I always feel like I’m just hanging out with a bunch of my friends. I love this tour in particular, because I can be just another member of the audience watching another artist like Cody Simpson or Thomas Fiss, cheering them on. It’s a great feeling in general because I know every other band feels the same way. You are just so connected and so at home that you don’t even worry about putting on a great show. You naturally will because you are so comfortable with the audience, it doesn’t matter. Everyone just wants to have fun! The campers and staff are so nice and incredible.
Camp Arrowhead, we will be back. Thank you for having us, it was awesome!!

Campers at co-ed residential camp, Camp Hilltop in Hancock, NY, were in for an awesome surprise when the Camplified entourage rolled in on July 15!

Complete with a Stardoll T-shirt design contest, luggage-tag crafts sponsored by Penguin Young Readers, Juicy Juice freebies and more activities, it was definitely a day to remember!

Surprise! LOL, I couldn’t resist. The Camp Crew left Golden Slipper and headed to Surprise Lake Camp on Tuesday, ready to beat the heat! Juicy Juice and WAT-AAH brought the bevs; Six Volt and Thomas Fiss (along with his Roadie For a Day, sponsored by Samsung Gravity) brought the rock. Check out this video that Six Volt band member Granger sent us:
Sounds hot, right? I think I found one of my new favorite bands… *cough* Six Volt! *cough* Oh, and a camp blog wouldn’t be complete without pics:
