Important facts to keep in mind:

• All genres are being considered. Tour will consist of up to 3 performances by artists, during either afternoon or early evening hours


• Backline will be provided as well as full sound and production crew


• Journalists will be on-site reporting back to several media outlets about the day to day experiences on tour with respect to all artists and all activities


• Please keep in mind that if you are selected you will be performing for tweens and/or teens and we therefore require that you have absolutely no explicit lyrics and that your music is appropriate for this age. Your attire can and should be trendy but your t-shirts, hats, pants can not explicitly suggest a negative message to this audience


• Artists are required to participate in autograph signings and other “meet and greet” events at each tour stop. Since the tour stops typically last up to a full day, artists are expected to participate in some of the activities with campers provided by the sponsors. Getting along with kids of all ages is a big plus as it generates future communication with your band and the kids


• International artists are encouraged to apply with application assistance provided

The camps want camplified because they provide safe, fun, "star power" entertainment for their kids in an innovative manner. Top brands want them because they help connect with teens/tweens in a way that goes above and beyond traditional methods. The labels want them because they help them break new acts with a lot of buzz by providing a one of a kind marketing vehicle. And now Camplified is opening up that opportunity to the indie world.

Selected artists are responsible for their own travel.
