Percussion Summer Camp

Percussion Camp is a rhythm-filled week for young musicians ready to explore the exciting world of beats and grooves! Campers will experiment with rhythm using a variety of percussion instruments and everyday “found” objects, learning how sound, timing, and teamwork come together to create powerful music. Each day includes hands-on rhythm workshops, creative jam sessions, and group activities that encourage musical expression and collaboration. The week wraps up with a dynamic showcase performance where campers share their original rhythmic creations!

WHAT IS FOUND SOUND?

Our Found Sound Percussion Camp explores rhythm in a whole new way! While campers will get hands-on experience with traditional drums like drum kits, bongos, and cajóns, they’ll also dive into the creative world of found sound:  making music from everyday objects 

fun and engaging approach
supportive environment

From buckets and boxes to bottles and body percussion, campers learn how rhythm can be created anywhere. Using their imagination, they’ll build their own instruments and discover how to turn ordinary items into extraordinary music-making tools.

If you’ve ever seen groups like STOMP or Blue Man Group, you already know the magic of found sound.  It’s energetic, inventive, and a ton of fun. This camp gives kids the chance to experience that same creativity while learning real percussion skills and working together to create unique group performances.
