‘Inter-action’ is the key emphasis at Camp Electric-- an event targeted to bring a unique mix of nightly concerts by top Christian rock bands, and top Christian musicians to teach instructional sessions. The ‘all access’ schedule will offer five power packed days of hands-on music/ministry instruction, worship, personalized tips and tune-ups, and overall encouragement to spiritual and performance excellence for young musicians seeking to perfect their skills on vocals, keyboards, drums, bass, and guitar. Camp registrants will have ample informally organized ‘hang time’ with their professional instructors as well as the opportunity to personally jam with their favorite musicians.

Major chart topping groups set to perform in the nightly concert presentations include TobyMac, Skillet, Pillar, Leeland, Phil Joel, Britt Nicole, and a to-be-announced ‘mystery artist.’ Leading Christian author/youth minister, David Nasser, will also be on campus to speak at the event.

Camp Electric is being produced by The Premier Group, America’s top producer of Christian themed events, and presented by K-LOVE and Air 1 Radio, the leading voice of Christian radio under the EMF Broadcasting banner.

Noting that the event is filling up fast, John Sanders of Camp Electric, comments: "We’ve themed Camp Electric not only as a '‘first’ of its’ kind event, but with a strong commitment to Christian music that will give aspiring young musicians an opportunity to maximize their individual potential as well as grow in their spiritual walk.”

Adds Mike Novak, President of EMF’s radio family: “To raise future generations we have to invest in ways to reach kids where they are today. For many Camp Electric is a perfect example of how families can partner their teens with some of the leading Christian artists in the world. The opportunity for these young people to learn and fine tune their musical skills in a Godly environment is priceless.”

Camp Electric will be conducted as a full-on ‘campus experience.’ The five days of activities will be totally staged onsite at Nashville Trevecca University campus and will be staffed with adult chaperones. Accomodations are available on campus for the first 500 registrants.

Instructors include some of the top road/studio musicians in today’s Christian market, hand picked by event presenters for their passion for teaching, modeling Christianity through communication in music, and keeping God central in their personal lives and roles within the music industry as professional musicians.
