What to expect

At Songwriting Camp, young creators (ages 8–10) will write their own original songs, embark on a world tour, and step into the spotlight as imaginative performers. This playful, creative camp helps kids build confidence, musicality, teamwork, and storytelling skills — all while having ridiculous amounts of fun.

Every day, they’ll travel to a new destination and add to their composition for the Final Showcase Performance on Friday.
​
Bring your art smock for crafts!
​
Campers will play outside each day at East Lynn Park or Oakcrest Park. â€‹
