SUMMER CAMP!!!
Ok. So what I'm doing this summer is:
For two months, I'm running a summer music camp. Yes, you heard me. I'm running a music camp. It's not going to be very big. Maybe 10-12 kids max. It's going to run Monday-Friday 8am-6pm. So it'll be kind of like a daycare also, but for kids ages 6-12. It's pack your own lunch. The camp will run in 2-week segments, and there will be one field trip a week, and every other week will be a non-music trip. So examples are: first week, Casa Loma, week 2, The Music Garden.
The music aspect of the camp would include theory, bi-weekly kid-sized musicals, rhythm training, singing, piano. Possibly more, depending on what I think of.
A day might look like this:
8-9: Sing song
9-10: Musical
10-11: Team Building Activities
11-12: Lunch
12-1: Lunch
1-2: Music
2-3: Quiet hour
3-4: Drama
4-5: Outdoors
5-6: Outdoors
Cost-wise:
One kid: 2 months: $1800
1 month: $950
2 weeks: $500
Ideas for Musicals:
For each 2-week segment, we would focus on different aspects of music for the musicals. Every musical would be done completely by the kids. They would be very small-scale, ie 15-20 minutes. We would have maybe 2 wooden flats that we would paint, and the kids would choose their costumes from the LARGE selection I have at home. They would write their own scripts. The four musicals would be based on rhythm, then singing, then dance, then (still to come up with this one).
I'm really absorbed in housing right now, and if I think of something else, I'll add to this post.
Thoughts?? Please post!
