Bandology’s annual Band Camp is a week-long day camp for keen music students in grades 7-12 who want to improve their musical skills in the summer.
Led by some of the best conductors, clinicians and music teachers in southern Ontario, teenage campers at Band Camp enjoy using top-notch music facilities to participate in warm-ups and chorales, break-out into sectionals and small groups, and rehearse as a full concert band. There’s also lots of fun with games, camp projects and team-building activities.
Band Camp Junior is a week-long day camp for kids in grades 1-6 who want to explore their love of music through games and demonstrations with new friends.

Led by keen musicians and educators, campers enjoy participating a wide variety of musical activities, from bucket drumming to body percussion to music theory and everything in between.
