We are reprising our most popular camp of 2023!
Do you like to break stuff? Do you like to figure out how it worked before you broke it? Do you like building things that nobody’s ever imagined before? Do you like music? If you answered yes to any of these questions then the Piano Wreckers Ball is for you! We will carefully, but with great vigor, demolish old, donated pianos and other pieces of musical junk and reassemble them into brand new instruments, or maybe even one giant mobile musical laboratory. After we’ve invented our new instrument, we’ll learn to play it. Then we’ll compose a brand new piece, or learn one of our favorite songs, and perform it for friends and family. No previous experience is necessary, but kids should be prepared to wield tools and get dirty!
Campers will use tools such as drills and hand saws during the course of this camp — always under adult supervision, wearing personal protective equipment, and after receiving safety training. Please consider this when signing up for camp!

* We have a no-questions-asked scholarship policy to ensure our education programming is accessible to everyone who wants to participate. If the cost of camp presents a significant financial barrier, please reach out to [email protected] for a partial or full scholarship. If you do so before March 1, we will send you the code to sign up as soon as registration opens.
