The summer instrumental music program is for students in grades six (6) through nine (9) as of September 2011. The program is designed to provide a chance to start or continue instrumental music lessons and to help minimize the regression of technique and playing ability that can occur over the summer months when practice is not adhered to.

Note:

The summer instrumental music program will conclude with a FREE concert for the public at 10:00 a.m. on the last Friday of the camp.

Registration is currently CLOSED.  Please check back soon. Sorry... NO refunds once registered.

Schedule

Recreation

There will be different recreational activities on both Fridays of the camp. While it is optional, each student is encouraged to attend on this day, as it enables the students to have a little “downtime” and recreation. It also helps in getting to know the other members of the group. Should they be attending, each student should bring a lunch on Fridays as well as, any other materials necessary for the activity of that day.

Week 1: Bowling at Bowling Academy
            requires spending money and $10 admission fee (includes shoes, and  
               unlimited bowling, soda, and pizza.)
