Music Explorers
Music Explorers Camp is a fun educational music camp for children. Campers of all skill levels will explore the instruments of the orchestra and rock band; learn fundamentals of music theory and music history; foundations of music composition and production and learn how to play ukulele and percussion instruments. Children will be grouped with other campers based on age and musical interests. Join us for 5 days of learning, creating and playing music, teamwork, making friends, and pulling it all together for a surprising performance experience. This event is available to participants ages 7-11 at the time of the event.
