Each summer we design unique musical experiences that invite children to learn music and practice independence. Our Summer Drop-Off Camps are offered for ages 3-5, 4-6, and 5-7 years. Camps vary from 90-120 minutes with a daily music lesson, craft time, center time, and more. This year we also have a Musical Theatre Camp for ages 6-12 years.
Your child will smile with assurance that you’ll be back as they settle into the routine that will encourage creativity and musical learning. We feature a large variety of instruments during these camps to invite musical curiosity and develop ensemble skills. Music brings about community in a way that invites new friendships and inclusion. The lessons spark your child’s passion for music as our teachers create a classroom experience that is customized for each group of children.
