Art-estra Orchestra
Monday - Friday: 9 am - 12 pm (early/late care available)
Music and art educators from the Upper Valley Music Center and AVA take campers on a quest to discover the ways in which music and art can work together. Students will explore a variety of visual art materials as they create their own instruments and learn to play them. With your fellow campers you’ll explore your musical and artistic creativity by making music on your original instruments.
