Rock Camp Jumpstart

Rock Camp Jumpstart gives campers the opportunity to write their own music and experiment with sound and movement through a wide variety of fun activities.

The camp week includes workshops on musical instruments (drums, guitar, bass, vocals and keyboards), performances by visiting artists, art activities like button-making, and the favorite activity of our camp for older girls: band practice.

In band practice, campers work in small groups of 3 – 5 girls over the course of the week to write an original song. The bands perform their songs at a showcase concert on the Friday afternoon of camp, to the thunderous applause of an audience made up of their peers, teachers, counselors, family and friends.

No musical experience necessary. Our small teacher/camper ratio allows campers to enjoy a high degree of individual attention and work in small groups. Campers with previous musical experience can advance their skills, and beginners get the chance to learn basics and try out different instruments.

All of our activities focus on music, creativity, confidence, and collaboration. Our counselors and teachers provide a warm, encouraging environment for campers to try out new sounds and make new friends.

Each camp day includes two snack times, a quiet time for resting, listening to music or napping, and free play. Campers bring their own lunches and snacks.
