Music

We sing a lot of songs at Camp Downer, and for a new camper sometimes it is hard to catch on.

Our Music program is a perfect opportunity for those campers to practice the songs that we sing at camp, but it may also be perfect for those who just enjoy singing camp songs.

The program is run by a guitar-playing counselor who is well-versed in the camp songs. The counselor leads the group in vocal warm-ups and the basics of musical theory.

The group sings through many songs but tries to perfect one. If the group is up for it, they may perform for all of camp at Thursday night Campfire.

In the more advanced music programs, campers are encouraged to bring their own instruments. The counselor and campers work together to compose a song, perfect lyrics, and find harmonies.

After a lot of practice, the campers perform their song for all of camp to hear. We have had some unbelievable performances in the past.

Eligibility Criteria: This program is open to all campers.
