Idol Camp

Do you think your kid is as talented as the 'American Idol' finalists? Or more talented, even! Well, you may be able to give your child a taste of the Idol experience without having to go through that massive auditioning process ... although it's not cheap.

For just $2995 (yes, some scholarships are available), kids age 10 - 15 will have the opportunity to hone their skills with experts in the music industry and former Idol finalists, at Idol Camp, a two-week sleepaway camp in the California mountains.

They'll learn about singing, dancing, acting and more, with a big show for parents at the end of the session.

As you might expect, attendance is limited to 400 campers per session - with 5 sessions ... so if that $2995 is sounding like just the right amount for a great vacation, you could also consider checking out some of our local theatres - most of them have summer arts camps for kids.
