GENERAL DESCRIPTION

La petite fanfare music camp in Chelsea is a bilingual day camp for children aged 5 to 12. Your child will develop his or her taste for music and improve his or her instrumental abilities. Held in a country setting at Chelsea Elementary school, on Old Chelsea Rd in Chelsea, La petite fanfare music camp will provide a positive, creative and safe learning environment.

While beginners are welcome, children who already have some knowledge of music can also continue and expand their learning with qualified music teachers.

Exceptional teachers and staff and rich and varied activities mean that the camp can allow each child to explore and express his or her own creativity.  Each two-week session will conclude with the staging of a musical comedy for parents and friends. All the children will participate in the show.  The camp’s regular activities will be geared to producing this musical comedy and include instrumental music, choir, dance and rhythm, and theatre. Physical activities and games will be held outside or in the gym when the weather is bad.
