About the camps

Have an unforgettable summer

Summer camp at Sunburst is an action-packed week of creative exploration! Campers ages 6 to 12 dive into the world of music: playing in a band, writing original songs, recording in a real studio, and creating custom artwork. Whether your child is picking up an instrument for the first time or leveling up advanced skills, we group campers by age and ability so everyone thrives.

We provide all the instruments, gear, and supplies. Every week finishes with a live showcase on the Sunburst stage for friends and family!

Drum circles

Everyone circles up on djembes, congas, and shakers to lock into one big groove together. No experience needed, just hands and a pulse.

Music & art projects

Design band posters, t-shirts, album art, and stage costumes to go with the music.

Frequently asked questions

Good to know about camp

Who is camp for?

Any kid ages 6 to 12 who is excited to explore music, whether they're trying an instrument for the first time or already love to play. All they need is a willingness to try new things, work with others, and have fun making music and art.

How are campers grouped?

By both age and experience, so everyone gets the most out of the week. Most weeks split into two or three groups depending on sign-ups.

When do sign-ups open?

We post next season's dates in January and open sign-ups at the same time. Call or text us before then and we'll let you know the moment the schedule is up.

What does camp cost?

We set tuition when the schedule goes up in January. We reserve a few pay-what-you-can financial aid spots in every camp, so get in touch if cost would be a barrier for your family.
