Jason LeVasseur is an award-winning keynote speaker, leadership educator, and musician whose work is deeply rooted in more than three decades of summer camp experience. His camp journey began as a homesick nine-year-old camper and grew into a lifelong calling that has shaped every stage, classroom, and conference room he steps into today.

After six summers as a camper, Jason returned to camp as a counselor-in-training and went on to serve as a junior, senior, and head counselor. Over the years, he has worn just about every hat camp life offers – activity counselor, certified wilderness trip leader, lifeguard, special events coordinator, and program director. Today, he proudly serves as Head of the Woodshop at the same camp where it all began, Camp Timanous in Raymond, Maine.

Alongside his camp career, Jason spent more than a decade touring internationally as a drummer, guitarist, singer, and songwriter, performing over 250 days a year and recording more than 15 albums. Those years on the road – learning how groups work together, how energy spreads, and how individuals contribute to something bigger than themselves—deeply inform his approach to leadership and community-building.

Blending the heart of a camp counselor with the perspective of a touring musician, Jason brings music, storytelling, and interactive experiences to his keynotes—helping people feel confident in the “instrument” they bring to the band. As the founder of The Rock Star Project®, he uses the metaphor of a band to explore teamwork, leadership, and belonging.

Jason is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP™), Certified Master Trainer™, and Virtual Master Presenter™, and has received more than 25 national awards, including Speaker of the Year and Entertainer of the Year. His message is simple and enduring: what you bring matters – and how you show up makes the band better.
