Summer Mini Music camps
Join us for our exciting mini music camps this summer. Each three day mini camp will focus on something different. Morning mini camps are music exploration camps, and will involve a range of instruments and musical activities, crafts and more. Afternoon mini camps are piano/keyboard camps. Please check the camp description for the intended age/skill range, and contact Donna Metler (dmmetler@comcast.net) with any questions. Students can do one or both sessions each week, and may stay between the two camps if doing both. Students doing both should bring a lunch and drink each day.
Each mini camp session is $95. Second session for the same student is $85
