Summer Arts 2023

Registration has not opened yet. You may join our mailing list to receive an email when registration has begun.

Overview:

The Institute of Music for Children is more than just a place for your child to go during the summer, it's a place for your child to grow! We are excited to be back for another summer of HARMONY - Helping Achieve Responsible, Motivated, Optimistic, Neighborhood Youth. In building our community, we ask that all parents review our OK Conflict Wheel in our Parent Handbook before Summer Institute begins.

Our Summer Institute is available for students in 1st - 12th grade and offers them the opportunity to participate in a variety of different art classes taught by quality teaching artists. What also sets us apart is our amazing Youth Leadership program. Our Youth Leaders are older students, many of which have been with us for several years, and who provide mentorship to younger students during the summer camp day.

Each of our campers will receive two free Summer Camp T-Shirts which they are required to wear. Additional T-shirts are available for purchase. Also, lunch for all campers must be provided by parents/guardians. Students are not able to microwave nor refrigerate their lunch, so please plan accordingly.

Please be aware, that there is a mandatory parent orientation for all in-person campers. Students in grade 4 and above should attend with their parents for class selection. The length of time you will spend at Orientation will depend on the number of children you are registering and the grades of each child. The dates for Orientation will be listed once confirmed.

Grades 1st - 3rd - July 5 to August 4

We reserve Scott Hall specifically for our younger students in 1st - 3rd grade, and so sign-in and pick-up will happen there as well, but they will take classes in Scott Hall, the church building, and the Manse. Students in this younger age group are assigned to a team and will participate in a variety of art classes with the support and guidance of Youth Leaders. The class schedules are set by staff to give each child the opportunity to explore the many different art forms we have available.

Students should be dropped off at 8 am and picked up at 12:30 pm. If you would prefer, we have Aftercare available until 3:0pm or 5:00 pm for an additional cost. Aftercare is supervised and organized playtime, arts, and outdoor play.

There will be a Sharing Showcase on Thursday, August 3rd at 5:00 pm - the last Thursday of camp. Also, we will be having a Fun Celebration Day on the last Friday of the camp which includes an outdoor picnic (parents are asked to bring food for students to share). More information will be announced at a later date or these two fun events!

Grades 4th to 12th

Our students in grades 4th-12th will take classes in both the church building as well as the Manse and Scott Hall; however, students at this level are expected to sign in at the front doors of the church. From there, they will be taken to classes with their Youth Leaders and participate in a variety of art classes. Students can select their top 4 classes during registration and will get at least 2 of their selected 4 during class selection at Parent Orientation. This provides an opportunity to learn something new. We ask parents to encourage their children in being open to new classes as well as ones they have already taken.

After lunch students may select ONE option for the rest of the camp day:
Recreation/5 weeks – Students in the recreation program attend camp from July 5th to August 4th. During recreation, they participate in outdoor activities, organized games, and field trips (field trips are an additional cost). They have a Fun Day on the last Friday of camp.

Production/6-weeks – Students in the production program attend camp from July 4th to August 11th. During the production time, they participate in a main production in one of the production teams: Play Production, Musical Theatre, Set Design, Dance, Band, and Music Production.  The Performance will be on the last Thursday and Friday of camp.

Students (both Recreation and Production) can be picked up at 3 pm at the front doors of the church. If you would prefer, we do have Aftercare available until 5:00 pm for an additional cost. Aftercare is supervised and organized playtime, arts, and outdoor play, and students can be picked up from Fellowship Hall.
