IMC Songwriting

IMC Songwriting

The IMC Songwriting Program welcomes everyone! From absolute beginners to campers with experience in playing, singing, composing, improvising, or recording. At its core, the program is about communication: finding your voice, expressing musical ideas, and learning how melodies, sounds, and rhythms can come together through improvisation. Campers will explore the art of songwriting in both solo and group settings, creating original music that is fresh, authentic, and uniquely their own. The Songwriting Program is offered during Session I and Session II—join us for one or both!

    When you're not making music, camp is packed with awesome activities! Spend your afternoons on the water sailing, swimming, waterskiing or tubing. Or you can stay on land for beach volleyball, tennis, basketball, tetherball, Gaga Ball, and even mini-golf. The fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down. Get ready for campfires, a corn roast, talent shows, movie nights, and all the classic camp traditions that make summer unforgettable.
