Week Five: Music

July 15 - 19

Embark on a musical journey at GDAC’s Music Camp! Our experienced music instructors will guide campers through a week of introductory courses to learn the basics of guitar and drums. This camp is designed for beginners with little to no prior experience with these instruments. Campers will also discover the joy of music exploration at an instrument petting zoo, provided by Coyote Music Studio. Families and friends are invited to join us on July 19 at 2:30 PM for a relaxed recital, showcasing the campers’ newfound guitar and percussion skills!  

All instruments will be provided for the campers to borrow for the week. Two sessions will take place concurrently throughout the week for both age groups: 6 to 9-year-olds and 10 to 13-year-olds. Age groups will switch classes after lunch. Classes are limited to 10 students. Full-day and half-day options available. See below for the schedule of classes.
