Summer is, with good reason, most kids’ favourite season. The most obvious reason is, of course, no school creates a break from that busy routine, and means a lot more time for play. But that doesn’t mean all the structure has to go along with the regular routine. In fact, most kids–even if they don’t know it–want at least some structure, and more importantly, new experiences, to help them make the most of all the extra time and energy they have available.
For a musical child, that structure and new experience can be found in a summer music camp!
Check out the top 4 reasons kids love summer music camp!
A Chance for New Adventures
No matter if kids are continuing with an instrument they’ve been working with for years, or starting something news, there’s always a new adventure to be had. One of the biggest benefits of summer music camp is the feeling of accomplishments that kids feel when they are able to master a new skill. They feel pride in reaching their goals and build confidence in their musical abilities.
If they’re saying they’re “bored” this summer, give your kids the chance for a new adventure to embark on!
A Break From the Summer Sun
When kids list their favourite summer activities things like going to the pool, playing at the park, and riding bikes often rank near the top of the list. There’s plenty of time for all these summer activities over the months between school years, but between them, kids also need a break from the heat.
Summer music camp provides a wonderful indoor activity during the hottest parts of the day and season. Kids are able to entertain themselves–and family–sharing the newest piece they’ve learned.
Creative Expression
Do your kids like to build with legos, draw or paint, or just be creative in general? If so, their creative juices are already flowing freely! Music offers a unique outlet for creative kids. Depending on the summer camp program, your creative child may write their own songs or learn to improve on more familiar tunes.
While kids are free of the rigours and pressures of school during the summer months, music camp offers lessons and activities where kids’ creative instincts are allowed to flourish.
Tons of Fun–Without Screens
With the extra time summer offers, kids are always looking for things to fill their days. Those activities that engage them on multiple levels tend to be the activities they enjoy the most. Rather than allowing them to fall into games on their tablet or console, or Netflix on the TV, music makes for a great alternative. Music engages the mind, heart, and body, all at once. Kids use their hands to play the instrument, their brain to read and create the music, and their hearts to feel and enjoy the music.
Music has an incredible way of making like better. As kids play their favourite songs, they often can’t help but burst into smiles ans show off that expressive joy of making music!
