Come one, come all to the Carnival of the Animals! In this afternoon half-day camp, we’ll stomp, roar, and chirp as we learn all about music composition. We’ll craft animal-themed instruments, play creative games, and work in pairs to compose our very own movements of Camille Saint-Saens’ iconic Carnival of the Animals using Garageband. Let’s shake our tail feathers and bring the animal kingdom to life!

Note to parents/guardians:

No prior music or Garageband experience required. Some tablet familiarity is helpful but not required.

Looking to make this a full day of fun? Combine this camp with our Melody Makers morning camp with one hour of lunch care in between.

What can you expect from this camp?

A typical camp week will introduce campers to new concepts in music through fun games, crafts, and exploring digital music composition in Garageband. This is a great camp for children who are curious about music and enjoy working with their hands. Parents/guardians can expect campers to come home with a fun DIY instrument or animal-themed craft each day!

For campers who are combining both half-day camps into a full day of fun, there is no overlap between music concepts covered in Melody Makers and Carnival of the Animals!

Garageband projects will be emailed to parents/guardians within 3 days after the last day of camp.
