In addition to working on and recording music, campers will perform at MGM Grand's Rouge Lounge at the end of the four-day session. They'll also get a special private performance by Wilson.

Attendees can bring their own instruments, or use gear provided by the camp. Instruments aren't a must, as attendees can also work on their vocal chops. Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp also has a session March 5th-9th featuring Sammy Hagar and Steve Vai, and a Def Leppard Fantasy Camp happening April 4th- 7th.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
