Campers will build confidence, musicality, teamwork, and stage presence while moving, singing, drumming, and performing to the upbeat music kids love.

Students will be sorted into houses for friendly competitions, create potions, complete magical challenges, and explore mysterious sounds, rhythms, and melodies through instruments, movement, and creative activities. From spellbinding music games to enchanted ensemble work, campers will use music and imagination to bring the magic to life.
Families may register for either half-day session or combine both for a full-day adventure. Full-day campers will enjoy a rich mix of pop music, rhythm, movement, creativity, fantasy, teamwork, and performance — perfect for kids who love music, dancing, imaginative play, and a little bit of magic!
