\n\tThe third annual\u00a0Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Fantasy Camp for women only will take place Dec. 5-8 in Los Angeles and feature such rock legends as\u00a0\u00a0Nancy Wilson<\/a> (Heart), Lita Ford<\/a> (The Runaways), Sheila E.<\/a> (Prince), Nita Strauss (Alice Cooper) and Rhonda Smith (Jeff Beck).\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cRock Fantasy Camp for women is a meaningful gathering of women together. As a military brat I never felt constrained by my gender,\u201d Wilson tells\u00a0Billboard<\/em>. \u201cEncouraging women to wield their power outside confining gender expectations is always a happy task for me.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe capacity for the camp is around 80 campers divided into up to 14 bands.\u00a0Each band is assigned a counselor who mentors them throughout the four days and helps prepare the musicians for the closing concert where they play with the rock headliners at the Viper Room on the Sunset Strip.\u00a0The counselors themselves are a constellation of heavy hitters, including\u00a0Roxy Petrucci (Vixen), Eva Gardner (P!nk), Jennie Vee (Eagles of Death Metal), Julia Lage (Vixen), Jennifer Oberle (Sarah McLachlan) and Britt Lightning (Vixen), who also serves as the event\u2019s musical director.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tThe camp is open to musicians of all levels, who are evaluated beforehand to make sure they are placed in the appropriate band and each participant is sent a song list to start rehearsing. The four days are filled with rehearsals, masterclasses, Q&As and jam sessions.<\/p>\n \n\tThis year\u2019s event will also include a panel of top women music executives, presented by\u00a0Billboard<\/em>, which serves as the Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Fantasy Camp\u2019s media sponsor.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe Women\u2019s Rock Camps have been some of the most supportive and uplifting camps I have seen in my 28 years of producing the Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Fantasy Camp,\u201d says producer David Fishof.<\/strong> \u201cThe way these women are able to bond and\u00a0be completely open about topics without judgment\u00a0allows everyone to leave with so much joy and increased confidence. After observing it, I realized it would be a disservice to not continue producing annual Women\u2019s Rock Camps.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tLightning adds, \u201cThe campers gain friends for life and more importantly establish a network of females that share the same passion from all over the world. The sense of community is overwhelming and inspires not only the campers but the talent as well and allows dreams to be realized in music and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFishof has run the Rock \u2018N\u2019 Roll Fantasy Camp for more than 25 years, and participating rock stars have included Roger Daltrey, Steven Tyler, Alice Cooper, Joe Tyler, Slash, Paul Stanley and Sammy Hagar.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tFor more information, go here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"Rock](\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/v2-Rock-Roll-Fantasy-Camp-2-b-billboard-1240.jpg?w=1024\")
