“All Things Strings!” St. Paul's Kids Music Camp
Monday–Friday, June 10–14 | Jones Building

St. Paul's Kids Music Camp is a week of music-related activities geared toward children ages 5-12 (entering 1st-6th grade). Campers enjoy a week of music-related activities centered around "All Things Strings!" as we explore music genres that use stringed instruments (bluegrass, Classical, jazz, mariachi, pop, rock, sacred, etc.) and a variety of string instruments (violin, viola, cello, bass, harp, guitar, dulcimer, lute, sitar, zither, ukulele, banjo, koto, and more!).

Camp will include instrument demonstrations, crafts, snacks, songs, and STEAM activities (ex.: sound wave & frequency activities, yo-yos, pulleys, kites, marionettes, bow hair art) that relate in some way to STRINGS. Camp concludes with a brief program at 11:30 am on Friday, June 14, 2024 with the children performing songs learned during the week.

Cost: $90 per camper. Scholarships are available upon request. Reduced tuition and free childcare are available for family members of volunteers.
