Summer Camp

Summer is a great time to learn some new music skills and make some new friends too! Most camps are half day, but combine two camps on the same week to create a full day camp experience with an hour between for lunch and outdoor time! Each camp's schedule will vary, but expect a full day filled with games, fun, music, friends, and memories!
