It may seem far away, but summer is coming and so are my studio camps! Running camps in the summer is one of my favorite things! I love to see the kids get excited to be with friends and to work together to practice and learn musical concepts. And since I am a big kid at heart...
I recently came across a website that had loads of camp ideas and included a list of 100 Summer Camp Themes. A great list! So if you're thinking about having a camp or camps and need some ideas, this is a great place to start. The site also has some other camp ideas which might trigger some creative ideas!
If you've never done a camp, you should consider it. It's a lot of work, but it's well worth it! I'm planning on running 3 camps this year - 2 camps that I've done in the past and a new one I'm working on right now. I'll be sure to share more on this as it gets closer to summer! In the meantime, I hope you're own planning goes well and that you'll check back and share what you're doing!
Hey Sheryl:
ReplyDeleteI'm curious, how big are your camps? And how many adults do you get involved? Where do you run them? And what are the liablity issues involved? I just started teaching this year and am considering the possibility of running a camp,, but I'm not sure how logistically possible it would be for a small number of campers. Any thoughts you have on running camps would be welcome. Thanks!
