Summer Camp
The Ultimate Camp Rock (ages 7+)

This summer we will be doing our own interpretation of Camp Rock The Musical, a combination of both Disney Channel's Camp Rock and Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam (starring teen idols Demi Lovato and the Jonas Brothers), which is a classic story of rivalry and power. We are also adding our own little twist to this show. The story opens with Mitchie and her friends arriving at Camp Rock, ready to spend another summer jamming out and having the time of their lives. But the new, flashy Camp Star across the lake now threatens Camp Rock's very existence. To keep the doors open, Mitchie steps up, rallies her fellow Camp Rockers, and gets them into top shape for the ultimate showdown! This camp will also incorporate acting, dancing, singing, props and backdrop setup, and more backstage productions! Join us for an unforgettable week of summer camp!
August 15th-19th , 9:30am-3pm
Cost $300​

Music in the Park (ages 7+)
Join us for a fun day in the park where we are going to take all of our musical knowledge and combine it into one big group song. This is a great opportunity for students to interact with one another in a fun musical day. This will help them learn how to stay in time, and work rhythm when in a group setting. All ages and levels welcome. Bring your own instrument and/or your unique voice as we take some time to enjoy music together!
