KINDER MUSIC CAMPS

The Kinder summer camp is a fun, safe & educational camp for young children to nurture a love of music and learn about music literacy & concepts through dance, art and singing! You can take a break safe in the knowledge that they are having fun and being well taken care of.

This years theme is Jungle Safari! The activities (and these are just a few examples!) include dancing to different kinds of music using simple props like balloons or bubbles; making & playing with simple instruments; making props for use in music time; learning songs & stories and for the older children an introduction to different instruments. The school is well equipped with resources such as pitched bells, lots of colourful percussion instruments, crawling tubes, hula hoops, etc.

There are 10 places for ages 4 - 5 and another 10 places for ages 5 - 6. The activities are organised according to these age groups. There will be refreshments (fresh fruit, crackers & squash), scheduled free-play and down time at the end of each day and a little musical play at the end of the week.
