Music Discoveries is a unique experience for learning, playing, meeting new friends, and making forever memories. If your child is in grades 6, 7, or 8 and are currently in a middle school music program, this camp is a perfect kickstart to their musical journey. At music discoveries, your young musicians in band, choir, or strings programs will have the opportunity to play music with students from all over the Greater Victoria Area in a fresh learning environment. Each year, Music Discoveries is tied together with a theme. The themes inform what kind of songs we'll play and sing and other ongoing camp activities! The theme for Music Discoveries 2025 is MEDIEVAL!
