Music & Independence: Summer Drop-off Camps for Ages 3-5, 4-6, 5-7 Years

Each summer we design unique musical experiences that invite children to learn music and practice independence. Our Summer Drop-Off Camps are offered for ages 3-10 years.  Camps vary from 90-120 minutes with a daily music lesson, craft time, center time, and more.

Your child will smile with assurance that you’ll be back as they settle into the routine that will encourage creativity and musical learning. We feature a large variety of instruments during these camps to invite musical curiosity and develop ensemble skills. Music brings about community in a way that invites new friendships and inclusion. The lessons spark your child’s passion for music as our teachers create a classroom experience that is customized for each group of children.

AFRICAN ADVENTURE / AGES 3-5 YRS: It’s a musical safari! Your child will travel to Africa each day to meet the animals on the Savannah, enjoy African drumming, and create African masks and more. The daily music lesson features singing, dancing, ensembles, and an introduction to a variety of African instruments. Plus, we will learn to count in Swahili and enjoy children’s literature focus on stories from the African continent.

SPLASH! / AGES 3-5 YRS: Set sail on the “high seas” as a Musical Pirate on a learning adventure. He’ll be so proud of the map he made of the voyage and we will celebrate how he’s learning skills for geometry. She will LOVE the quest for the treasure chest and you’ll be thrilled to see her make new friends. The sounds of the ocean and the music of our sailors will take over your car as they sing and smile long after camp ends.

SING A STORY! / AGES 4-6 YRS: invites students backstage at the opera. Quirky and delightful characters like Papageno, the Queen of the Night, and a variety of stage hands demonstrate the texture of the voice in the solo aria and duet, and show us just how many hands it takes to put on the big show! Learning about the beloved Mozart inspires the composer in all of us as we discover the musical staff and notes that show how dots on a page turn into beautiful music.
DRAMA  HIGHLIGHT: Students will be creating a mini production of “Papageno’s Feathers” to be performed on the last day of camp.

JUMPING BEAN / AGES 4-6 YRS: She will discover the sounds and feel of Latin American music while exploring memory and sequence skills. Each day, he will make an instrument and learn how the sound is produced.
DRAMA / MUSICAL THEATRE HIGHLIGHT: Students will be creating a mini production of The Story of Don Gato with song, storytelling, and instruments to be performed on the last day.

UKULELE ISLAND / AGES 5-7 YRS:  Here comes the smile after he learns his first chord on the Ukulele! She’ll be singing and strumming every day…Our Ukulele Summer Camp experience will teach basic ukulele chords and strumming with familiar tunes and songs from the Pacific Islands (including music from three different animated movies). Each day includes singing, instruments, ensemble, dancing, craft projects and ukulele.

This is an ideal introductory experience for those students who eventually want to learn guitar. We have found that starting with Ukulele with only 4 strings brings early success that builds skills for an easier transition to guitar later.  We include a parent performance on the last day – so plan to arrive 15 minutes early on day 4.

Class meets 2 hours/day for 4 days. This is Drop Off Camp.  PLEASE NOTE: Each student will receive a Ukulele & Cloth Case with registration. If your student has a ukulele, please notify the office in writing for a $40 discount:  info@kathysmusic.com

Musical Theatre Camp / AGES 6-10 YRS: Welcome to the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table – like you’ve never seen it or heard before. En garde! This medieval marvel, complete with jousting knights, delightful damsels, and court jesters, will captivate your performer.

You’ll see her eyes light up as she takes the stage singing and dancing. He’ll shine as he takes on his first dramatic role. You’ll celebrate as you watch the teamwork evolve over the week with encouragement and support for each other. Self-confidence builds as this group works together for a fun musical production where everyone is the star! No audition required.
