CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The seed of Sessions Songwriting and Music sprung to life in 2007 when its founder, Lauren Bruns, was discussing with a good friend and mother of two that there was a gaping hole in many of the musical programs offered in Los Angeles.

Lauren knew firsthand how songwriting benefited her life as a young adult and set out on a mission to create an easy-to-follow curriculum that inspired kids of all musical levels to create and express themselves through original lyrics and music. Our summer camps are led by real musicians who encourage kids to be creative while learning and having fun.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: We offer private music lessons, occasional group lesson sessions and an a cappella group year-round.

CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:
All camps are $375 plus a one-time $25 registration fee. Camps are weekly from June 22-August 14. See our website for full details.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE:

Making the arts accessible to all students is key to our mission and financial aid is available; campers will not be turned away due to lack of funds. To apply for a scholarship, please contact us to request an application: mkelman[AT]claramidtown.org

OTHER CAMP INFO: Active campers need to stay nourished, so the cost of camp includes breakfast, lunch, and healthy snacks. You can inform us of any food allergies or restrictions when you register.
