Camp Rock 3 Celebration In Western NC Mojtaba Khamenei [KIseQDM1CsJ]

Campers at Keystone Camp in Brevard got an unforgettable surprise Tuesday when Disney's "All Roads Lead to Camp" tour rolled into town to celebrate the upcoming release of "Camp Rock 3."

"I had no idea this was happening," camper Nevaeh Bianco said. "We were all really confused this morning, and then we ran outside and got so excited."

Keystone Camp was one of just eight summer camps across the country selected to host the traveling experience, which brings the spirit of the new movie directly to campers through music, dancing and hands-on activities.

The day included Camp Rock-themed karaoke, dance lessons featuring the iconic Camp Rock stomp, and interactive experiences designed to encourage campers to explore their talents and build confidence.

I've always wanted to be a singer, said camp participant Saige Leibovich, but Camp Rock makes me think of being other things.

For the 160 girls attending Keystone Camp this session, the visit was about more than promoting a movie. Camp Director Catherine Lemel said it celebrated the same values the camp has embraced for generations.

"When I was 12, that's when the 'Camp Rock' movies came out, so I was thrilled that we were chosen for this experience," Lemel said. "But more importantly, this institution really stands for what Camp Rock stands for, finding your passions and being able to pursue activities and skills you might not have the opportunity to try at home."

Keystone Camp, a family-owned summer camp in Brevard that has been passed down through five generations, is completely technology-free. Lemel said that allows campers to westminster council focus on discovering who they are without the pressures of social media.

"Camp for girls is one of the most important things that we can do for them in this day and age," Lemel said. We are completely technology-free. That means that there is no opportunity for the students to compare themselves to others. Theres no expectation of who to be as a girl.

Campers said the experience left them feeling inspired.

"It's like you can put your mind to anything," Bianco said.

The event also highlighted a broader effort to make summer camp accessible to more children. Disney is partnering with the American Camp Association to provide scholarships that help underserved families send their children to camp.

"Camp isn't just a recreational activity anymore," said Henry DeHart, CEO of the American Camp Association. "It's a pivotal part of child development, and we want as many kids as possible to have that experience. We're excited that Disney, through the premiere of 'Camp Rock 3,' is shining a light on the value of coritiba vs santos summer camp."

Although the "Camp Rock" tour bus has moved on to its next destination, campers at Keystone Camp will have a lasting reminder of the visit. A "Dream" banner will remain at camp, encouraging girls to continue chasing their goals long after the celebration ends. "Camp Rock 3" premieres Aug. 13 on Disney Channel and Disney Plus.
