The Doors at London Fog. The Red Hot Chili Peppers at The Roxy. Buffalo Springfield at Whiskey a Go Go. Lots of rock stars got their start in Los Angeles. And now it's your turn. Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp is returning to Hollywood this May 10-15, 2011 to let music lovers of all walks of life learn from, jam with and perform alongside their musical idols. It all culminates in a once-in-a-lifetime live performance when the Campers and their rock star counselors hit the stage at the legendary House of Blues in Hollywood.

From the minute campers arrive, their rock ‘n' roll adventure begins. Campers will form their own bands and then meet, jam with and receive intensive and ongoing instruction from their rock star counselor. Campers also have the opportunity to spend one of their camp days creating and recording original music in-studio and take a variety of "Master Classes" conducted by rock icons. Finally, they hit the stage for a special, closing-night concert.

Headlining this April's camp is none other than Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, Sammy Hagar (Van Halen, Chickenfoot). Each band will have the opportunity to meet and perform with the legendary "Red Rocker," in between their rehearsal sessions. In addition, this May's camp will include these Rock Stars:

Chad Smith - Smith is perhaps best known as the longtime and current drummer of Red Hot Chili Peppers. He is also a member of Chickenfoot (with Sammy Hagar) and his own band, Chad Smith's Bombastic Meatbats.
Phil Collen - Collen is the lead guitarist for English rock band Def Leppard.
Eddie Kramer - Kramer is a legendary producer who has been behind the boards for the biggest names in music - Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin, KISS, The Rolling Stones, Peter Frampton, Joe Cocker, Johnny Winter, David Bowie, The Beatles and Bad Company, just to name a few.
Ronnie Montrose - Montrose is a rock guitarist who has headed his own bands and performed with a variety of musicians including Sammy Hagar, Herbie Hancock, Van Morrison, Boz Scaggs and The Neville Brothers.

RRFC will also feature Rock Star Counselors such as Mark Hudson, Bruce Kulick, Rudy Sarzo, Kip Winger and Richie Kotzen.

"I created Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp to help everyday people live out their wildest dreams," says Rock Camp founder/CEO David Fishof. "I can't think of a better place than Hollywood to set the stage for this life changing experience."

Prior to Los Angeles, Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp headed to the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas from February 17-20, with legendary drummer Tommy Lee as the Headliner. Lee was joined by rock goddess Lita Ford and KISS guitarist, Ace Frehley.

About Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp

Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp was founded by producer David Fishof in 1997 as the ultimate music experience for the amateur or aficionado, pairing music lovers of all levels together with rock icons for a first-hand immersion in the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. Camp attendees move from spectator to band member, sharing the stage - and limelight - with rock icons for an once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Camp is also the subject of the highly-rated VH1 Classic's reality series, "Rock N Roll Fantasy Camp", produced by reality legend Mark Burnett. A new season of the series is due to air in the Fall of 2011.
