Summer Camps 2024

Registration is open!

WHAT  Throughout the summer, Rockory offers performance-based music camps. Each participant will choose a song for their band to rehearse and perform. Songs can be chosen from any popular genre. The instructor will create custom arrangements of songs to best fit the instrumentation and ability level of the musicians. Students learn about busking (earning tips for playing), and the work it takes to rehearse music and present a professional concert!  Monday and Tuesday are spent learning songs and practicing.  Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are performance days, where the group travels to several locations in downtown Kirkland to play their show!

WHEN  10 week-long sessions to choose from this summer.  Camp hours are Monday-Friday, 12:00pm-5:00pm.  Before and after care is available if early drop off or later pick-up is requested.

• Schedule subject to change depending on instructor’s pending summer tour concert schedule. Every attempt will be made to keep dates the same as per schedule below. In the unlikely event of a schedule conflict, the summer camp can be either rescheduled to another week or refunded.

TESTIMONIALS:

"Thank you so much for a great week, Daniel! Kimia had a blast! :) I am so impressed how you coordinated music for and coached 10 kids with disparate backgrounds to play together in just a couple of days. And they got noticeably better each day. :) Even though Kimia had literally just started the guitar a couple of days before camp you made her an integral part of the group. It was exactly what she needed to jump start her musical ambitions."
