What to expect at our
summer songwriting camp
In one week our campers write and record an original song together as a team, then give a fun performance for family at the end of the week! Your child will get to explore and try out the band instruments–piano, guitar, drums, bass and singing with a microphone. Beginners are welcome!! :)
Kids also learn communication within a band setting, fundamentals of rhythm, melody and harmony, and will leave our camp with new songwriting tools and ideas they can use to continue writing their own songs at home!
In addition to daily band rehearsals, music activities and games and outdoor free time, our campers enjoy a daily nature hike.
