PENDLETON — The
Carnegie Library building
that houses the Pend-
leton Center for the Arts in
August will be overtaken
by a cacophony of piercing
electric-guitar riff s, ham-
mered drum kits and loud
teens. And the staff can’t
wait.
After two years of Rock
& Roll Camp being off ered
in a virtual setting to con-
trol the spread of COVID-
19, PCA is opening the
doors back up to nearly a
hundred 13- to 18-year-olds
for a week-long immersive
experience. The 17th year
of Rock & Roll Camp runs
Aug. 8-12 and is completely
free. Teens do not have to
reside in Umatilla County

Center for the Arts hosted
its fi rst Rock Camp, fueled
by the passion of local
musician and music pro-
moter Peter Walters and
fostered by then grant
writer J.D. Smith and then
Executive Director Jane
Hill. The annual event has
become part of the fabric
of the community, and sev-
eral camp alumni credit
their involvement for the
confi dence and continued
engagement with music
they enjoy today.

A spirited rehearsal takes place at Pendleton Center for the Arts’ 2019 Rock & Roll Camp. After COVID-19

unteer, then instructor, and
he now leads the group of
15-20 Northwest musicians
who pour their heart and
soul into making sure that
teens have a week they will
always remember.
Activities during the
day camp begin at 9 a.m.
and wrap up at 4 p.m. and
include everything from
songwriting, music per-
formance, vocals, sound
mixing, graphic design and
journalism. Those not inter-
ested in getting up on stage
can focus on interviewing
counselors and campers,
taking photos, drawing and
all the other tasks that go
into creating the camp Zine,
a handmade booklet that
documents the week and
showcases the participants.
The week culminates in a
Showcase Concert on Main
Street on Friday, Aug. 12,
at 7 p.m.
Camp counselors will
be staying at the newly
renovated Motolodge in
Pendleton, thanks to the
generous support of the
property owners. The prop-
erty had served in years
past as a home base for
the camp, and the stylish
upgrades and refurbishing
of the conveniently located
lodge are fi tting as PCA
welcomes counselors back
in person after the diffi cult
hiatus.
The counselors come
from a range of indie
bands — touring musicians
who have spent years per-
fecting their craft — and
also include topfl ight music
journalists and writers like
Casey Jarman and Michael
Heald.
Acoustic and electric
guitars, ukuleles, drum
kits and other instruments
are available for free loan
during the camp. Teens are
also encouraged to bring
instruments they play,
including strings and brass.
Early registration is rec-
ommended, as the free
camp is limited to 100 par-
ticipants. Register at www.
pendletonarts.org or at the
Pendleton Center for the
Arts, 214 N. Main St., open
Tuesday-Friday 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. and Saturday noon
