Ahead of his 98 Degrees performances Friday on NBC's "Today" show and Saturday at the Mixtape Festival in Hershey, Pa., he's busy teaching at a Cincinnati-area performing arts day camp that he opened with his wife, Lea.

"My wife and I were both so influenced by the arts growing up that we wanted to be able to pass on our knowledge and experience as professional performers to the next generation," Lachey said in a recent interview.

The Lachey Arts Music Theater Camp is a two-week day camp that runs through Friday. There are 38 kids and Lachey says approximately 28 of them attend on a full scholarship, learning dance, drama and singing.

After 98 Degrees performs, 36-year-old Lachey says he has about 10 days off before beginning rehearsals for "Dancing with the Stars All-Stars" which premieres September 24 on ABC. He won the show's second season and wants to show he still has what it takes to be a champion.
