At AMP Youth Strings Camp, kids ages 8-13 will have the opportunity to learn violin, viola, or cello in a fun, fast-paced environment. Beginners with no prior musical training are welcome to participate in the Overture Track, and those with prior playing experience on their instruments can participate in the Intermediate Track. Instructors from the Skagit Symphony will teach the basics: how to hold the instrument and bow, how to pluck the strings, form notes with the left hand, and bow the strings. We will also learn how to read music, follow a conductor, and play in an ensemble. Each 3-hour day at camp will involve group practice of note reading and rhythms, instrument sectionals with hands-on instruction, performances by guest artists, games, and rehearsals. Intermediate string players will receive additional skill-building opportunities in separate sessions during each day at camp. At the end of the week we will perform a concert. Campers will make new friends, learn new things, and hopefully get off to a great start on a lifetime of opportunity as a string player.

AMP Camp is a week-long excursion into playing as a band, making friends, building confidence, exercising inclusivity, expanding creativity and learning how to rock! This camp is designed for ages 12-18 and all levels of experience are welcome.

AMP Camp will be led by experienced local musicians, along with many other musical guests! With the instructor’s guidance, participants will form bands and create original songs to be performed live on the final day of camp. We will have workshops, games, snacks and lots of fun along the way! Have a desire but no instrument? No worries! We will have guitars, basses, keyboards, microphones and drums available to play. Please join us and bring your songs and creativity to life on stage!
