Beats & Loops Camp is a double header this year! It starts with Spring Break in March and makes a comeback in June to kick off our 2024 summer camps. Join us on this exploration of sound, sampling, beat making, and more—campers will even produce their own song! We'll start the week by exploring drum loops and beat-making, steadily layering and arranging tracks, culminating in campers' very own compositions to share with friends and family at the end of the week.
This round of Beats and Loops caters to the 10–14 age group, providing flexibility to delve into music production at a slightly higher level—beginners are still welcome! This camp is all about equipping our campers with the skills and tools to bring their creative ideas to life, regardless of their experience. Together, we'll spend the week exploring a range of techniques, including sampling, mixing, and blending live and electronic instruments to elevate their compositions. The highlight of this adventure is listening to the camper creations during the end-of-week concert. Each year we are genuinely amazed by the compositions they produce, this camp truly fosters a sense of accomplishment and creativity that lasts far beyond the camp experience!
Beginners welcome, we’ll show you what to do!

How long is the camp day?
Camp runs from 9am-3pm every day except for Friday, which runs a little longer. We start the camp concert at 3pm on Fridays and tend to finish around 3:30 or 4:00. In the morning, doors open at 8:45am for early arrivals. In the afternoon we are open for lessons when the camp day ends so campers are welcome to hang out at the school after camp if need be. Please let us know if you have questions or how we can make drop off and pick up work best for your family.

What about lunch?
Campers have the option of packing a lunch, or ordering from Pizza Bellino. In an effort to avoid overwhelming the Pizza Bellino staff during their lunch rush, we plan to order a couple of full pizzas to split between the campers. For $5 we will provide 2 slices of pizza and a drink. We also offer a daily morning snack (pretzels, fruit snacks, water, juice, etc.). Please let us know on the Camper Safety Form if there are any food allergies etc.
