ABAC Fine Arts department to host summer music camps

TIFTON – Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College’s Fine Arts Academy will host a Junior Stallion Music Camp from June 3-7 at ABAC’s Edwards Hall. 
 
The Fine Arts Academy Summer Music Day Camp is a musical experience that is designed to help children develop a lifelong love of music. It offers students a place to grow musically in a fun and exciting learning environment while giving them the opportunity to socialize, develop relationships with other young musicians, and experience life on a college campus.   
 
The camp is open to students who have completed first through sixth grade. 
 
“It’s not just about music,” said Dr. Jennifer Huang, head of the Fine Arts department and program coordinator. “It’s about learning and growing in a supportive environment, making new friends, and developing social skills and confidence. We can’t wait to see the transformation in our campers. This year, we are taking a trip around the world to learn about culture and arts from different countries.” 
 
According to Huang, students will engage in different age-appropriate activities such as crafts, musical science, singing, dancing, instrument exploration and outside recreation. Older campers will also receive experience in camp counseling and private music lessons. 
 
The Junior Stallion Music Camp will run from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. Instruments, music and all activity materials are provided.  Daily snacks also are included, along with a specially designed camp T-shirt. Tuition for the camp is $150 per student.
