Fantasy Camps

We offer a variety of camp experiences ranging in length. Most of these include some form of thematic musical instruction in dance, singing, drumming, or playing an unorthodox instrument. Bare bones attendance covers up to 6 hours of class each day. Packages range from our weekend Glamour Getaways to a full week camp term, and come with all manner of options, discounted when bundled. These include delectable meals, outings and activities, inviting on-site accommodations, spa treatments, professional make-up and photo shoots, all in keeping with the day's theme.

Plus, we generally offer optional extended visit excursions such as Night Before and Morning After activities for your elective inclusion, depending on your travel arrangements.
