Summer Music Camps
This year's summer camps are taking on a new and exciting look!!
Each of the half day mini camps holds its own musical adventure whether its helping your child discover their inner composer, getting their rhythm on, laughing their way through games, creating their own trading cards, or becoming a master performer! Each mini camp is its own entity so you can mix and match according to your child's interests and summer schedule. Each camp has a capacity for 7 campers to ensure they receive quality instruction and are provided with a safe and optimal learning environment.
Invite your friends too! While some camps require music experience and others do not
