What parents are saying about Troy Music Day Camp:
"It was wonderful! We have children of two different ages and personalities and they both came home enjoying every day. They seemed to really enjoy a new and growing appreciation for music in general and an increased confidence to be able to make and participate in music themselves."
"Last year, our first year in camp, I was blown away by how much the kids learned in such a short amount of time. This year was no different. The concert was fantastic. I was amazed at the things that are taught to the children and that it is retained."
"The camp was very well organized, with attentive staff. Just a really fun place for kids. Our camper had a lot of fun and we LOVED the daily newsletter. Very, very well organized. We would definitely sign our camper up again. Thank you!"
