Choir Camp is one that your upper-elementary and middle school student will not want to miss! This all-day, one-of-a-kind camp is led by Mrs. Sara Murphy and blends technique, sight-singing skills, jazz and a capella with traditional choir and audition preparation. Camp takes place on the Serra High School campus.
There will be a performance on July 29 at 2 p.m.
Let’s get back to Band and Orchestra Camps
Dates: July 31 - August 4
Time: 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Cost: $599 ($50 materials fee included in tuition)
Campers are invited to work in new group settings joining other musicians to play in band and orchestra. These camps are designed to get the kids playing again after a long summer of trips and not a ton of musical opportunities. After this camp, your child will return to their school music programs in the fall refreshed and excited to join their bands and orchestras again. Campers, who will meet at Serra High School, will perform in small chamber ensembles and larger band or orchestra groups.
