Ready for Summer? Band Camp Registration Now Open!

Registration for our 7th annual Band Camp and 3rd annual Band Camp Junior are also open! We’re looking forward to welcoming a new group of teens and kids for another amazing week of camp fun.

New for 2023! Band Camp Guelph – all the awesomeness of our band camps in another new location, for music lovers in the Guelph area.

Band Camp is a week-long day camp for keen music students in grades 7-12 who want to improve their instrumental music skills in the summer. Campers spent a week in a concert band setting under the guidance of trained music professionals.

Band Camp Junior is all the fun of the senior program but with no music experience required! Kids learn a variety of musical skills while playing cooperative games and experimenting with various instruments. Band Camp Junior is for kids in grades 1-6.
