After a day of introductions and instructions, the campers get a chance to strut their stuff in the solo challenge. The best soloist on each instrument wins camp bragging rights and some cool musical prizes. The campers also spend plenty of time rehearsing with their newly formed bands in the hopes of winning an EMI Music Canada recording contract or 5000 dollars cash. But who says the life of a rock star is all work and no play? Rock campers take in the sites of Halifax, play with their video cameras and make the adjustment from home life to dorm life. With mom and dad nowhere to be found, all of the rules go out the window! Gob's guitarist/vocalist Tom Thacker makes a ""Rock Camp"" appearance to chat about band life and have some fun with the campers. An independent and major label success story, Gob tours all over the world and has appeared on over twenty albums, EPs and compilations.
