Takoma Groove Camp is a musical day camp allowing intermediate and advanced musicians aged 12 through 17 to
gain experience playing in a contemporary band setting. During the camp
students will be exposed to many facets of being that come together in
order to make a complete musician. Not only do we get plenty of jamming
and composing, but we discuss the importance of a healthy lifestyle,
mindfulness, and utilizing your senses to the fullest in order to reach
one's creative potential.
As a student you will:
