Plugged In’s Spring Session students and staff will be showcasing their talents and rocking and rolling to raise funds for the Hole In The Wall Gang Camp. This session 41 student bands will be playing over three days to show the community their skills, and that music can be a vehicle for positive change!

What's the "Hole In the Wall"?
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp is a summer camp dedicated to providing “a different kind of healing” to seriously ill children and their families throughout the Northeast, free of charge. It’s a community that celebrates the fun, friendship and the spirit of childhood where every kid can “raise a little hell.”
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp’s goal is to ensure that every child with a serious medical condition has the chance to experience the world of possibilities that camp has to offer. Through the generosity of others, The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp community provides this unique healing experience to kids in need and their families, including those who may not be able to come to Camp (via their Hospital Outreach programs)
The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp was founded in 1988 by Paul Newman with one simple premise in mind, that every child, no matter their illness, could experience the transformational spirit and friendships that go hand in hand with camp. Paul Newman, while a successful actor, was also a visionary with the heart of a child. His personality, playfulness and mischievousness are infused within every corner of Camp, from the pirate flag he raised on the tree house to the days he spent on the lake fishing with campers.
With unobtrusive expert medical care, it was Paul’s dream that Camp would provide seriously ill children with a fun-filled experience defined by compassion, laughter and acceptance.
