“I have a conviction that a few weeks spent in a well-organized summer camp may be of more value educationally than a whole year of formal school work.””
Summer is just starting, and for most of us, we may look back on our endless, carefree summer days of childhood with fondness and joy. However, now that you are a parent, you may have mixed feelings about this season. How will we manage childcare while working? Are there any educational summer music activities I can put them in that are both educational and fun!
The best answers to these questions can be summed up in three words: SUMMER MUSIC CAMPS! Not only is summer camp fun, but did you know that there are a wide range of benefits of summer music camps for children?
Here are our Top 3 Benefits:
1. Personal Growth, Learning, and Development
Most summer camps focus on a theme or incorporate aspects of learning, exploring character building, and personal growth. If you are looking for fun summer music activities for your children, look no further. Music camps are a great way to keep your child learning music and retaining what they learned throughout the year. You can be confident that your child will not only be entertained but also educated and challenged. While they are having fun and exploring their musical interests, they also increase their capacities for learning, teamwork, problem solving, knowledge, and self-awareness.
2. Positive Role Models
Another benefit of summer music camp is that it provides your child with the opportunity to interact with positive adult role models who are musicians. Forming these role model relationships can help kids develop the confidence, self-esteem, and skills they need to succeed in school and life. Overall, the more healthy, positive adult relationships that a child or youth has in their life, the more likely they are to thrive in all areas, long after summer music camp has ended.
3. Socializing and Friendship Building
One of the most significant benefits of summer camp is socializing and meeting new people. Children develop essential life skills through socializing – such as sharing, setting boundaries, and problem-solving – and they also learn how to create strong, healthy relationships through interacting with their musical peers. A summer camp program provides a safe environment for children to develop social skills, decision-making skills, and even experience the many different ways to learn music!
Studies have shown that 70 percent of parents report that their child gained self-confidence while at camp.
Summer Music Camps are the place to learn and perform. And Camps inspire to encourage children to engage and continue their lifelong music studies and meet new friends. Summer break is an excellent time for fun-filled adventures. Music Camps offers an exciting, inspiring week within a safe, welcoming environment that will help them grow as musicians and individuals.
