Fun, Musical Experience Also Focuses on Social Skills and Independence

Campers celebrate music by participating in a songwriting workshop, recording session, songwriter’s night and a live performance on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. Campers are invited to take part in research activities.

Learning and practicing new skills
Music enrichment and appreciation
Performing with other musicians
Socializing with mentors and peers
Feeling connected and empowered
Family support and information
