Songwriting Camp

For a week, campers will take a deep dive into the art of songwriting and embark on their own personal songwriting journey. Offered to all levels of musical ability and experience, campers will travel behind the scenes of their favorite songs to learn more about melody, rhythm, harmony, form, and lyric writing. Whether they choose the route of live music with an instrument or creating digital beats on a computer, campers will have the opportunity to perform their own original song and take home a recording to document the masterpiece they have created during the camp.

Hogwarts is coming to Wilmington Friends School! Harry Potter fans are invited to a week at Hogwarts to participate in an intensive magical educational experience. We’ll begin the week by going to Diagon Alley to get our magic supplies. Then the campers get sorted into houses, followed by lessons in charms, potions, transfiguration, defense against the dark arts, and divination. Along the way we’ll play quidditch, duel with spells, enter the Triwizard Tournament, Sorcerer’s Stone Challenge, and Horcrux Hunt. At the end of the week, campers will take their O.W.L.s and celebrate with an end of term feast. Campers who previously participated in Camp Hogwarts will engage in several second year lessons, as well as take their N.E.W.T.s.
