WEEKLY JOURNEY
DAY 1
Land, Rhythm & Song: Latin America
We kick things off in a vibrant world of rhythm, movement, and storytelling inspired by Latin America.
Through high-energy games and play, campers explore how music connects to celebration, nature, and community.
Expect body percussion, songs you can’t get out of your head, and lots of movement.
DAY 2
Strings & Stories: West Asia
We slow things down and lean into melody, expression, and storytelling.
Campers explore the musical traditions of West Asia through songs, patterns, and playful storytelling.
They discover how music can carry emotion, history, and meaning.
DAY 3
Rhythm Lab: Africa
Time to groove together.
Campers dive into rhythm as a shared language, building coordination, confidence, and connection through group music-making.
Drumming, call-and-response, and movement take over as we experience music as something we create together.
DAY 4
Lantern Sound Garden: South & East Asia
A softer, more exploratory day focused on texture, imagination, and sound.
Campers enter a world of delicate melodies, storytelling, and creative discovery.
We explore instruments, soundscapes, and visual art - creating our own “sound gardens” where music and imagination bloom.
DAY 5
Creation & Jam
We bring it all together.
Campers collaborate, create, and mix everything they’ve explored throughout the week.
The week ends with a joyful sharing moment for families - part performance, part celebration, all heart
