Come and play! The Gilmore’s summer music camp is for pianists of all levels and experience. Day Campers have daily small group piano lessons and exploration in technology and music-making with Jazzy Jams plus hands-on art projects. Each afternoon, participate in outdoor YMCA camp activities. Day campers and families are invited back to camp for evening recitals. The week concludes Friday at 1:00PM with a final celebratory recital hosted by campers for their peers, friends, and family.
An audition is required for all piano campers. Day Camp auditions will happen from March to June. Video submissions are also welcome. Students will be encouraged to practice daily at home, after the camp day. Enrollment is limited to 40 campers. Call 269-342-1166, or visit www.thegilmore.com/ for more information.
Camp Scholarships
It is our belief that no child shall be turned away due to an inability to pay. Each year, we raise funds to help parents send their kids to camp. If the camp fees are just not possible for you right now, we urge you to apply for a camp scholarship. Please feel free to call in to our camp office or download a Financial Assistance Application here.
