Choral Day Camp
Monday, July 8 - Friday, July 12, 2024
Music at Port Milford is excited to offer a week-long choral day camp for Prince Edward County elementary students!
The program is designed to stimulate learning, foster cooperation and fun, and facilitate a love of music in children across the county.
Students meet daily, Monday through Friday, from 9am to 12pm, participating in workshops and preparing choral material at the Bloomfield Town Hall. The program culminates with an afternoon at the Music at Port Milford campus at 89 Colliers Rd., Milford, where the Choral Day Camp students will join overnight academy students for lunch, lifeguard supervised swimming time, singing a collaborative song, and ice cream treats to say goodbye!
Tuition: $100 (family discounts available; contact Sam Hirst)
Note: No prior musical experience required to register! Interested families can fill out the registration form and send it digitally to mary.samantha.hirst@gmail.com.
