Nancy Wilson, Orianthi, Jennifer Batten to host women-only Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp in Los Angeles
Melissa Etheridge, Kathy Valentine and Rhonda Smith will also serve as instructors at the camp, which is set to take place from May 6 through May 9
UPDATE (01.19.22): A previous version of this story stated that this camp would take place from January 27 through January 30. It has now been pushed back to Mother's Day weekend due to COVID concerns.
A women-only rock camp is set to take place from May 6 through May 9 in Los Angeles.
Presented by Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp, the camp will feature Heart's Nancy Wilson, Orianthi, Jennifer Batten, Kathy Valentine (of The Go-Go's) and Melissa Etheridge as headlining instructors.
Camp goers will get to attend masterclasses and Q&A sessions, and participate in themed jam rooms and a final grand performance at the Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood on May 9.
Other instructors at the camp include Rhonda Smith – who's worked with Prince and Jeff Beck – Eva Gardner, whose credits include work with Gwen Stefani and Pink, and Ashley Reeve, who has toured the world with Cher.
Notably, all crew and staff working on the camp– complimenting the women-only lineup of instructors and mentors – will be women.
Now, for clarification, this particular Rock ‘n’ Roll Fantasy Camp is indeed only open to female attendees, but an additional, $899 Man Cave package is available to keep attendees' partners, spouses or boyfriends busy while their loved ones rock out with the stars.
