Santa Monica, CA, USA
Santa Monica Music Camp runs weekday day-sessions with a combination of instrument-specific learning, music theory classes, and time for outdoor and creative breaks. Children of different backgrounds—complete beginners or those with some experience—are welcome. They’ll be grouped by skill level so everyone gets instruction suited to them. The camp emphasizes teamwork, musical growth and the joy of making sound together rather than purely competition. A weekly concert gives campers a tangible goal and a sense of accomplishment. The setting feels relaxed but structured: kids play three hours of music each day alongside a theory class and other activities. Outdoor play, electives like arts or sports (when requested), and social time cement friendships as well as skills.
The fact that no prior instrument experience is required makes it accessible and welcoming for younger children or those trying music for the first time. Parents of repeat campers often mention the boost in enthusiasm their kids gain for music after attending. Because it is a day camp (not overnight) it’s ideal for families looking for a full-day program without board-and-lodge logistics. Overall it’s a strong choice for families wanting a balanced mix of artistic growth and summer-camp fun.

The camp states that their location is child-proof, modern, and continuously used year-round for camps and private lessons. The facility is staffed at the front desk and monitors comings and goings. The teaching staff are professional musicians/educators who hold appropriate credentials and undergo background checks. The camp offers before-care and after-care options, with supervision during those times though not always formal activity, so children remain under adult supervision outside of core hours. The environment emphasises both physical and emotional safety: kids are grouped by level, beginners feel supported, and social-emotional wellbeing is built into the setup. Because music involves instruments, playing time, and group activity, the structured schedule – including snack breaks and outdoor play – helps ensure children remain engaged and safe throughout the day.
At Santa Monica Music Camp, kids spend most of the day making music—playing their instrument, rehearsing with peers, and learning the fundamentals of music theory. The program aims to nurture musical ability and teamwork while keeping the day engaging and fun.
Campers also enjoy outdoor play, arts and crafts, and a culminating Friday performance that lets them show off what they’ve learned. Whether your child is brand-new to music or already experienced, the camp provides an environment that supports growth, creativity, and confidence.
Each camp program follows its own registration and cancellation policies, and credits may be offered instead of refunds in some cases.
