Overview

Join The Band Summer Music Camps offers a lively, hands-on music experience in a studio setting in the Sherman Oaks area. The focus is on kids and teens (ages roughly 8-18) who want more than just a day-camp—they want to dive into instruments, band dynamics, songwriting, and live performance. Campers are grouped by age and ability so they can learn together, work on real songs, rehearse as a band, use live sound equipment, and finish the week with a performance for friends and family.

The atmosphere is energetic, social and creative, balancing structured music instruction with fun-filled camp energy. Kids who already play an instrument want to level up, and beginners who are curious about music will find an engaging entry point. If your child enjoys collaborating, performing and making music with peers, this camp gives them a chance to do just that in a supportive environment.

Why We Love It

  • Kids get to form a real band, rehearse and perform — music becomes social.
  • Beginners and experienced players alike find challenge, fun and progress.
  • Friday showcase gives a meaningful goal and a sense of achievement.

Best for

  • Kids aged about 8-18 who want to play music with peers and have fun.
  • Young musicians ready to move beyond solo lessons into band dynamics.
  • Campers who enjoy teamwork, live performance, and stepping into the spotlight.

Accommodation and Meals

Meals

As a studio day camp, meals are not fully provided — participants bring lunch though water/juice is available.

Safety

Safety practices are built into the camp’s daily routines. Drop-off begins around 9:00 a.m., with child sign-in required and staff present to greet and monitor campers. The studio environment is designed for music instruction in groups with experienced instructors, which ensures supervision and a controlled space. Equipment use (amps, microphones, drums) is guided by trained band leaders who teach proper technique and safe handling. Parents can expect a safe, supervised setting where kids are within a dedicated music studio rather than an open-ended environment.

Camp traditions

Join The Band has a few signature traditions that help make the experience memorable: each Friday the camp culminates in a live-performance showcase where campers play for parents and friends in the studio. Daily routines include rehearsals, band-formation, instrument instruction, and team work. Kids share the excitement of forming a band, picking songs, and working together — this sense of shared musical achievement is part of the camp’s identity. These traditions help build confidence, camaraderie and a strong sense of belonging among participants.

Activities Program

The program is designed for maximum musical engagement. Campers join a band of peers matched by age and skill.
