Oh CMT, always coming up with creative ways to make sure that our city never shakes that cowboy-boots-n-twangin’ image (see also: CMApocalypse). Their newest offering is Camp Nashville, or what they refer to as “Country music’s fantasy camp.” From May 21-25, 100 lucky campers will get:
Five days of red-carpet treatment as an industry insider while you learn, jam, hang and perform with country music greats.
We were intrigued by this, so we thought we’d share the schedule that includes tasty meals at the Nashville Palace, a private performance by John Rich, and a bunch of riding around in a tour bus. Oh, and it only costs $7,999 ($8,500 if you want a hotel). But the first 20 campers to sign up get a free guitar. What a steal!
The site also comes with a little bonus game, Country Star Yourself, where you can find out your Country Star Name. Your Nashvillest editors are Charlie Mae Crow and Laverne Yearwood, what’s YOUR Country Star Name?
