Music in the Rainforest is this year's theme, with the following daily components: 

  • music time (singing, movement, musical games)
  • art creations time (creating artwork based on our Rainforest theme)
  • drumming circle (working on their sense of rhythm)
  • instrument demonstrations (each day the children get a hands-on experience with a different instrument to try out - a child-sized cello, violin, pressing the keys on a clarinet to see how the pitch changes...etc)
  • practicing a short musical drama that they will present to parents/caregivers on the last day of camp
  • quiet storytime related to our theme to end each day 
This camp introduces children to basic musical concepts, gives them an exposure to different instruments, incorporates a fun art time, and finally, gives the students a chance to show their parents what they've learned all week on the last day, when they perform a short musical drama and have an 'art exhibit' of what they've created all week.
 
There is a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 8 students per camp session.
