Opportunities for making music starts right here. KISSM, the annual 3 week summer music camp is fun for kids of all ages to play an instrument, sing a song and dance in a musical. My 3 kids spent many summers there and still maintain the friendships that started there. You can also blow the dust off you horn and join the Kamloops Community Band or if you don't play it anymore donate your gently used horn to Band Together for kids who need them. Join the fun!
I have had nothing but a positive experience with the Kamloops Music Collective, specifically with its summer program, the Kamloops Interior Summer School of Music. As a student in this program, I spent five years not only building my musical prowess and performance abilities, but also gaining skills that are essential outside of the musical realm. Not to mention the benefit of making lifelong friends! A truly amazing program, and Kamloops is lucky to have it.
The experience of music, the collective teamwork of staff and students and the confidence these kids gain in themselves as they discover themselves and what they can do is absolutely amazing. I would recommend this experience to everyone.
