Mini-Musical Camps
In the mini musical camps, we will learn the age appropriate basics of music, acting, and dancing! Students will explore the worlds of each camp with themed songs, dances, and curated crafts suited to each specific camp. Your camper will have the opportunity to grow their confidence with public speaking, while building an understanding of their own emotions and feelings.
