This summer, “American Idol” is introducing a 10-day camp in Northfield, Mass. for wannabe singers ages 12 to 15.
This also sounds like a great temp job for former “Idol” contestants who haven’t been nominated for an Oscar or landed a No. 1 album.
You don’t have to audition and there’s no preferential treatment to camp alums when trying out for the real show. The cost? $2,900 though some will be able to get in on scholarship. Up to 700 kids will take part over the summer learning to act, dance and sing.
This seems like a great idea and I’m surprised they didn’t do this sooner. What other reality-show themed shows should there be? So You Think You Can Dance camp is a no brainer. Hell’s Kitchen camp could be quite devilish. The Apprentice and Survivor could be parlayed into summer camps, too.
