Description
Camp Granada is a curriculum and administrative guide to organize a music camp in your school, church, community center, or wherever there are people who love music and who desire to share that love of music with young children. Its theme-based lessons blend the instructional rigor of formal music learning with the fun, excitement, and life-changing atmosphere of summer camp, and integrate arts and classroom objectives into a music curriculum that fosters creativity and musical exploration. Activities include singing, playing instruments, movement, listening, music literacy, and summer-camp style games and activities that continue to expose students to music content and skills.
The mission of Camp Granada is to provide the highest quality music camp experience in a child-centered environment that encourages participation, stimulates creativity, and focuses on fun; to increase each child’s awareness and enjoyment of music; and to instill in each child a desire to continue musical involvement for a lifetime.
