Learn to DJ this Summer at DJ Camp!

Enrolling Now! Summer sessions begin June 19th.

Don't miss your chance to learn to DJ from the best.

What is "DJ Camp"?

Take professional DJs, the newest high-tech gear, a hands-on learning environment, toss with an eager group of 10 - 17 year-olds, and you have a one-of-a-kind summer adventure.

Participants learn to DJ through a combination of structured lessons, professional demonstrations, and plenty of time in front of the equipment. We even bring in well know guest DJs to showcase their own artistry.

Skillful DJ-ing, whether at a dance club, radio studio, or special event, requires skill and practice. Through our fun and motivational programs, atmosphere of positive reinforcement, peer support, and friendly competition, teens will soon be surprising themselves with the skills they've mastered.

DJ Camp is the brainchild of Desert DJs, a Tucson based DJ entertainment company founded by veteran DJ entertainer Bob Deyoe.

• Are they available for your date?
  
  
• Do they travel to your location?
  
  
• Do they interact with the crowd?
  
  
• Will they Emcee your event?
  
  
• Will they perform the kind of event you are having?
  
  
• Have they performed at the location where you need their service?
  
  
• Will they have the proper music?
  
  
• Do they have the required equipment?
  
  
• Do they provide back-up equipment?
  
  
• Do they have a back-up DJ on stand-by in case of emergency?
  
  
• Are they covered by liability insurance ... and more.
