Each camp lasts 5 days, with one writing session per day, resulting in a minimum of 5 songs per group by the end of the camp. Writing groups change every day to ensure maximum collaboration and creative diversity. Participants register as artists, producers, topliners, or a combination of these roles. Days typically include writing sessions, collaboration time, feedback moments, and breaks for meals and rest. Accommodation, catering, and all necessary equipment are provided on site, allowing everyone to stay fully focused on creating music, connecting with others, and finishing strong songs by the end of the camp.

Our camps are designed to be all inclusive for your convenience. We suggest that you bring what you would normally bring on any hotel stay trip (ie. clothing, toiletries, etc.). We encourage you to bring your laptop and headphones to work on the production and mixing. Our studios has a large offer of instruments on site, thanks to our gear room but you can also bring your favourite instrument. Lastly, don't forget your open-mind and your creativity!
