Camp Spin Off: Summer Camp for Kids to be Musically Inspired
 
The camp is located in beautiful Ojai, CA, where the young can get access to great hiking and outdoors activities, and it’s also the place where they are thought more than DJing (mentored by celebrity DJs: Samantha Ronson, DJ Reflex, B Howard, and others), skills, getting instruction in art classes and other workshops to enrich them as they grow.  The camp is a 5-day sleep-away camp that’s very close to Tina’s heart and is her way to give back by sharing what she knows best, music. In addition to the time and care she devotes to the camp every year, she also sponsors a limited number of scholarships that fund the education of kids in need.
