Camplified tour is an orginization that brings young new artists to various camps over the course of the summer. The campers have a chance to listen to live concerts and to get autographs from the celebrities after the concert. An opportunity they wouldn't necessarily have otherwise.

This experience is great for the performers who are the same age as the campers but moreso it gives the campers incentive to believe, that even at such a young age they too can aspire to do great things.

We at Young Adult had the opportunity to sit down at Rolling River Day Camp and talk with Disney Channel star Trevor Jackson of Let it Shine. Another guest was Karlee Roberts. Karlee made her way onto TV as being a part of the much loved kids show on Nickjr, Jack’s Big Music Show.
