Idol Alums to Teach at Idol Camp
Idol Camp, the world’s first performing arts camp based on American Idol, today announced the beginnings of an all-star line-up of past American Idol alumni tapped to appear at the summer camp this year.
Favorite American Idol finalists Bucky Covington and Kimberley Locke are set to teach special Master Classes. These talented performing artists will call upon their own unique skills and experiences to educate children on a variety of creative disciplines, in partnership with the camp’s impressive staff of performing arts educators.
This summer’s visit to Idol Camp will be just one stop on individual paths to stardom for these Master Class teachers. Bucky Covington will release his self-titled debut CD on April 17th, featuring the hit single “A Different World,” currently climbing the Billboard Country charts and Kimberley Locke will release her second album, "Based On A True Story," on May 1st - featuring the hit single "Change," which currently sits at #13 on the Billboard AC chart.
Other successful American Idol finalists scheduled to teach during the summer include Vonzell Solomon, Jon Peter Lewis and Carmen Rasmusen. Additional talent is to be announced soon.
“This roster of Idol Camp instructors helps to reinforce our commitment to creating a unique American Idol experience while providing children with the ultimate performing arts education,” says Donna Milani Luther, Camp Director. “All of these talented individuals have something special to offer our campers and we’re looking forward to working with them this summer.”
Enrollment into Idol Camp for this summer’s sessions are still open to young, aspiring 12-15 year olds throughout the US. However, there is only one more week left to apply to the camp; the deadline for applications is next Wednesday, April 18, 2007.
Idol Camp begins on July 7th, 2007 in Northfield, Massachusetts, with the first of the summer sessions. For more information on Idol Camp, including how to apply online, visit the official American Idol website.
