TEACHING


METAL HEROES SUMMER CAMP 

Please Note: Due to continuing health concerns in the USA, Metal Heroes Music Academy has made the decision to post pone our 2020 season of Metal Heroes Summer Camp to August 2021. The safety of our campers and counselors are of most importance to Metal Heroes and we want to do a camp that is a safe, fun and enriching experience for all. We will see you in 2021!

 

 METAL HEROES SUMMER CAMP - TBA, 2021

Metal Mike will host his 7th annual Metal Heroes Summer Camp on August 10-14, 2020 at Slide Mountain Forest House in Big Indian, NY. Designed to teach, motivate and inspire the next generation of rockers Metal Heroes Summer Camp is the ultimate metal music learning experience. STay tuned for exact dates.

Pre-Register HERE  for the Memories of a Lifetime!

$1399 per person + tax. | $595 parent spectator package + tax.

All packages include restaurant quality meals, snacks, soft drinks, clean lodging, house keeping, use of all equipment and access to all workshops including the final concert performance. We recommend that a parent attends with their camper at the age of 14. (*some exceptions can be made)

And, all we can say is WOW! What an amazing camp we had in 2019!

Developed for young metal-heads in the age group of 14-21, Metal Heroes Summer Camp is designed to teach, motivate and inspire young metal-heads through intense, but fun instruction in heavy metal. The crescendo of this very special vacation experience will take place on the last day when the students will have a chance to perform with Mike in front of their family and friends during a live concert staged at the camp’s playground.

I'm very excited to kick off and welcome you to our sixth annual Metal Heroes Summer Camp. Doing an event like this is something that has been on my mind for a very, very long time. I’m psyched to return in 2020 for our sixth annual metal celebration. All rock band instruments are welcome focusing on Guitar, Bass, Drums and Vocals. I hope you will join me on this 100% full-on metal journey. I have always wanted to share my tour and music experiences with younger metal-heads. I’m really looking forward to open up the metal vault with you on so many levels in order to help you sharpen your skills to metal ninja perfection.

While helping you with individual tasks and any challenges you might face, I’ll share with you how to make amazing progress when rehearsing with a band, how to quickly apply new material and how to deliver a powerful live performance. I can guarantee this will be incredibly fun and you will learn a lot, too.

You also will get great introductory tips on the music business, how to work well with others, all the while you fully immerse yourself in the music of the metal gods. We’ll be jamming together, hanging out together, studying what makes a song or a performance great - while everyone will get a chance to ask their questions and get plenty of one-on-one playing advice. And, of course, get ready to hear countless tour stories which more than likely involve your favorite rockers.

We’ll close out the camp with a superb metal concert in front of your family and friends. We have several other activities planned which include a metal discovery lounge, metal movie nights, specialized guitar workshops and much more. Campers will also have a chance to check out various items from my journeys that include custom guitars, dressing room signs, posters, tour itineraries and more. While all the metal-heads are enjoying a great time hanging out and jamming with their friends old and new, guitarists will be studying guitar lick packs especially designed for the camp, while drummers and bass players will learn the secrets of a tight metal rhythm section through metal clinics. I will be there overseeing the entire day to lead rehearsals and go over song parts.

I really want the kids to experience the power of rock and metal music and have a lot of fun while doing so, because ultimately, no one picks up an instrument not to have fun with it. So, if spending nearly a week at a beautiful resort like location while immersing yourself in all things metal sounds good to you – then let’s rock! This is for you. Metal For Life!”
