About Us
BE BOLD. BE BRAVE. BE YOU.
MWROC (Mark Wood Rock Orchestra Camp) is a week-long immersive music experience where musicians come together to perform, create, and grow in a high-energy, deeply supportive environment.
This is where training meets transformation.
You don’t just attend MWROC. You become part of it.
A PLACE WHERE YOU CAN GROW WITHOUT JUDGMENT
MWROC is built around one core belief: music should be a place where you feel safe to take risks.
Here, you are encouraged to explore, experiment, and step beyond your comfort zone—without fear of judgment or pressure to be perfect.
This is a community where musicians support each other, celebrate growth, and show up fully as themselves.
WHO IT’S FOR
MWROC welcomes:
- Middle school through college-age musicians
- Adult hobbyists and lifelong learners
- Professional musicians and educators
- School and ensemble groups
We welcome acoustic and electric string players, singers, guitarists, and electric bass players.
If you love music and want to grow, you belong here.
WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
Each day at MWROC is packed with hands-on music-making and collaboration, including:
- Large rock orchestra performances
- Small ensemble and combo work
- Vocal and instrumental coaching
- Improvisation and creative workshops
- Masterclasses with world-class faculty
- Evening jam sessions and performances
- A final full-scale rock orchestra concert
No two days are the same—and every day is designed to stretch what you think is possible.
COMMUNITY IS EVERYTHING
MWROC is more than a camp – it’s a musical family.
Participants arrive as strangers and leave as collaborators, friends, and lifelong connections.
We believe the strongest music is made together, and MWROC is built to make that happen.
LEADERSHIP & FACULTY
MWROC is led by founders Mark Wood and Laura Kaye alongside a world-class team of educators and performers.
Our faculty of Artist Mentors brings real-world experience, deep artistry, and a commitment to helping every camper grow in confidence and ability.
OUR MISSION
To inspire musicians to find their voice, expand their creativity, and discover what they are truly capable of—on stage and beyond.
FIND YOURSELF AT MWROC
This is where you stop wondering if you belong—and start realizing you do.
LEAVE YOUR COMFORT ZONE AT HOME.
