2026 Summer Music & Arts Camps
In Santa Barbara & Carpinteria
Where Creativity Takes Center Stage with Kathy & Friends Music, Movement, Instrument & Art Camps!
Dynamic, joyful indoor and outdoor space where music comes to life! Our camps are designed for ages 4–7 and 5–9, blending indoor music-making, instruments, creative movement, theatre, storytelling, and art with outdoor exploration, games, fresh air, and nature-inspired play. Children feel the breeze, notice the movement of leaves, listen to birdsong, and connect with the natural world as part of their creative expression. With small group sizes of just 8–10 children, each camper receives personalized attention and expert guidance from experienced, professional educators. Every day is filled with crescendos of self-expression, creativity, and fun in the key of F (Fun!). Join us for an unforgettable summer of music, movement, art, and magic.
Guaranteed to be one of your child's favorite camps of the summer!
