July Camp Highlights!

August 6, 2024

July marked our second month of our 2024 Summer Camp season and we couldn't be more impressed with our campers creativity and what they brought to the table. We want to give a huge thank you to our Camp Studio and Music Mania instructors and campers for making the last two weeks an incredibly fun and successful experience!


Camp Studio 

After the 4th of July break, we resumed our camp season with Camp Studio, where our students learned the ins and outs of recording with Ableton. This camp provides several avenues for the campers, including recording as a band, making an original podcast, and producing original music with an emphasis on recording live instruments. We encouraged our campers to take the lead regarding which path they explored, and we ended the week with two original podcasts, an original track produced by one of the campers, and a studio cover of "Blackbird" by the Beatles. You can listen to their original content on the Sunburst SoundCloud below!

Music Mania

Last week, we put on our second installment of Music Mania Camp with a total of 18 campers! This camp was organized by the Jewish Community Center, and we want to give them a huge thank you for inviting us to collaborate and organizing this camp!


Our Music Mania campers spent the week learning about rhythm, melody, how to play in a band, and more! Our primary goal for the week was to prepare a setlist for the Camp Concert at the end of the week, and the campers really rose to the occasion and blew us away. They performed an eclectic array of tunes from Imagine Dragons to Taylor Swift to Tracy Chapman. We couldn't be more proud of these kids and look forward to the opportunity to work with them next year!


Thank you once again to all our campers, instructors, and Sunburst families for making our camps possible. We couldn't do it without you!
