Music Explorers Camp
A playful, four‑day music exploration camp designed for young children to discover sound, rhythm, and creativity in a warm, low‑pressure environment. Campers rotate through engaging music stations each day — DJ play, drumming, singalongs, and movement — building confidence, social skills, and joy through guided experimentation rather than formal lessons.
Each day balances structured activities with free‑choice creative moments, helping kids feel safe trying new things while staying energized and curious. The week ends with a celebratory pizza + music party with a special guest DJ, focused on fun and pride rather than performance.
Ages 4 - 7, any experience level
July 20 - 23 in Hespeler

Music Labs
Our single-day camps (ages 8–12) are all about immersion and discovery.
Kids dive deep into one style for the entire day — like DJing, rock band, or songwriting — while still exploring a variety of instruments and skills within it. Each day is designed for discovery, hands‑on learning, and creative confidence!
Ages 8 - 12, any experience level
Multiple weekdays in July and August
Early-bird price: $70/day
Regular price: $80/day
Explore our single-day options below.
-
We explore the DJ basics—matching beats, making smooth transitions, and learning how to build a set (song choices, order, and energy). You’ll spend most of the day mixing and experimenting, then leave knowing how DJs plan a set from start to finish.
-
We try instruments and jump into small-group jams on guitar, bass, drums, keys, and vocals. It’s perfect if you’re curious about being in a band (or you’ve had limited band experience). We focus on the core band skills: steady groove, listening, and cues—with an optional “shred” moment if you want to take a quick solo.
-
We introduce a simple approach to songwriting—how to start with an idea, create a hook, and give it a clear verse/chorus structure. Whether you’re just starting or already writing, you’ll leave with momentum and a clear next step for your songwriting journey.
