                  Aspire Music Academy is proud to offer a full set of summer camp experiences for young performers of all ages! All of our summer programs are directed by Lori Sager and our full Creative Team.  Click the button above or any photo next to an offering to enroll today!  Please scroll down to see our full set of offerings.

                  Aspire summer experiences are instructed by fully-accredited music and teaching professionals and professionals in training.  We offer expert instruction and make it available to every aspiring performer!

                  Our theme for our summer programming is "Return of the Rebels!".  It's a chance for young performers of all ages to "hone and own" their skills the Aspire way.  Performers from existing Aspire youth groups, as well as new performers, are all welcome!

                   

                  For Summer 2023, Aspire performers get to perform in Roald Dahl's incredible Matilda The Musical Jr. and the amazing Disney's Descendants The Musical.  We also offer our Sparks and Dynamites camp as well as our Crescendos camp for our youngest performers.  Finally, no one will want to miss the ever-popular Summer Stock musical theatre camp (a STARS On Broadway experience)!

                  A fun performance will conclude each of these exciting experiences.  We anticipate being able to offer in-person performances for all our summer camps in 2023, using current CDC guidelines and the health and safety procedures we have in place (see below).  Remote or recorded viewing of performances will also be supported where licensing obligations allow it.

                  Come sing, dance and have way too much fun with both old and new friends!  Everyone is welcome - no previous performing experience required!

                  Commitment to Health and Safety


                  Know that your safety is our number one concern and that we will do everything we possibly can to create a safe and healthy environment for all of our participants!  All in-person camps will also have an online Zoom meeting available so performers can participate remotely, if necessary.

                  For all summer experiences, we will:

                     ● Follow the most current safety guidelines from the CDC, Local & State Governments.

                     ● Allow participants to choose whether or not they wear a mask. If conditions change, masks may be required. 

                     ● Provide hand sanitizer and ask that everyone clean and wash their hands as they enter the building and move from one space to another.

                     ● Use the outside green spaces around our facility for some activities.

                     ● Permit online Zoom participation in rehearsals in the event a performer cannot take part in person.

                     ● Expect that you will participate via Zoom if you are not feeling well.
