1. 
   Making & Playing Instruments in Nature – https://recreation.ubc.ca/camps/summer/making-playing-instruments-in-nature/  – The camp for ages 6-8 is full, but there are still some spots left for ages 9-12.

Be inspired by the synergies of music and nature! This camp invites inquisitive campers to explore soundscapes and the meaning of music through experiential and play-based learning. Together with camp leaders, children will explore their own musicality through multisensory and hands-on activities: building instruments with recycled materials, singing and playing instruments and songs, storytelling, arts-and-crafts, and musical play. By interweaving movement and music with the camp activities, campers will begin to experience rhythms, sounds, emotions and contrasts of music intuitively, creating space for spontaneous musical expression. Activities will take place outside as much as possible and opportunities to play real instruments will be provided.

2. Press Start:  Exploring Video Game Music – https://recreation.ubc.ca/camps/summer/music-video-game-music/ – This camps if for ages 9-12.  Limited spots left!

Dive into the world of video game music during this exciting full-day camp! The Rainbow Crystal of the Realm has fallen to the forces of darkness and the world needs a group of brave heroes to reclaim it. Will you join their ranks?  This camp introduces participants to the Elements of Music (melody, harmony, rhythm, etc.) and explores heroes’ themes, villains’ themes, and battle music in video games through games, crafts, and activities. Make your own instrument and play along to some of your favourite video game music, including tracks from Super Mario, Pokémon, and Minecraft! Solve a video game music-themed escape room, test your listening skills as you play a life-sized board game, and more!   Campers will also work together to create their own video game hero theme in GarageBand, which they will share with family and friends during a concert at the end of the week.
