Summer DJ Camp | June 21st - June 26th, 2020 | Angelus Oaks, CA
This is what a DJ Camp for teens looks like!
A Summer Camp for DJing & Music Production
Camp Spin Off is where DJ’s go to play! If you’re an aspiring DJ between the ages of 12 and 17, this is where you can turn your curiosities and dreams of learning how to DJ or beat making into reality during an action packed week at summer camp!
We are the only specialized overnight summer camp focused on building a positive outdoor learning environment where you can live, eat and breathe DJ culture with people that share the same passion and interest.
For six-days and five-nights, we bring together the world’s best DJs, instructors, speakers, performers and counselors. Our unique program of events and activities keep everyone involved and with each camper leaving with new skills, new friends and an unforgettable experience.
What is Camp Spin Off?
Camp Spin Off is a 501(c) non-profit organization that strives to bring together teenagers from around the world with one common passion: music. The only overnight summer camp of its kind, Camp Spin Off uses DJing and Music Production as a means to inspire creativity. Our mission is to provide teens with a life-changing outdoor camp experience through music.
We foster a unique summer camp community where music lovers, aspiring DJs and budding music producers are able to hear, create and experience music differently through sound challenges, technical and theory based DJ classes, music production and business classes. When campers aren’t in the lab formulating DJ sets or transforming random sounds into a beat, you can find them on the zip-lines, learning how to salsa dance, playing water volleyball, tie-dying shirts or finding their zen in a morning meditation session.
Life after Camp Spin Off
“When I found out about Camp Spin Off I was immediately intrigued since I had never even touched a turntable before. All I knew was that I had a passion for music and DJ culture. Attending camp helped me begin to realize what career path I wanted to take. I loved music, but when introduced to the business aspect of the music industry, I knew I found something. After attending camp for 2 years I began volunteering for Camp Spin Off, spending most of my time contributing to the Camp Spin Off social media. With that volunteer experience, I was able to network and acquire a summer internship at a music artist management company in Los Angeles, and I am now working towards a career in Digital Marketing. It’s amazing to think that one class over a couple of summers really shaped me into the person I am today. I am forever grateful for Camp Spin Off!”

From Camper to Junior Counselor
“My first time at Camp Spin Off I was already DJing gigs. I left inspired in every possible way. Camp showed me a new side of DJing and pushed me to do something new with my craft. My favorite part of Camp was the guests because I recognized them as legends, and they provided knowledge beyond skill. The biggest thing camp did for me was making me feel like a real DJ and being apart of the community. Not only was I able to see kids my own age DJing, but I also got to talk to my mentors and predecessors like equals. Coming back to Camp as a Junior Counselor was just as fulfilling and inspiring as a camper. I’m happy to pay it forward to the next generation. I remember every connection I’ve made at camp I couldn’t ask for a better experience!”

What parents are saying…
“My son was barely 13 years old when we first learned about Camp Spin Off, so I was nervous about sending him to an overnight camp in California since we live in Arizona. I spoke with the staff about my concerns and they put my mind at ease. We registered him. When I arrived to drop my son off, all of my worries went away. To see the operation of things, I felt comfortable and excited for him. My son came back from his first year with a new found energy and excitement. He found his “people” and potential. Each year he comes home with so much inspiration. Not just for music, but overall. I can’t believe this will be his fourth year at Camp Spin Off! We are excited for the Junior Counselor program when he can no longer be a camper. This camp has really changed his life!”
