Explore the wonderful world of music through instruments and voice!
Every child has creative potential. Music Exploration camp gives students space to explore that potential.
Music Exploration Camp (previously called
Instrument Exploration Camp) for children ages 6-7 is a continuation of Music Adventures (ages 4-5), with activities that further explore musical concepts and instruments. Offered four times throughout July and August, there's ample opportunity for your child to experience this dynamic and interactive music camp!
Students will have hands-on experience on select instruments, daily musicianship classes, singing, and sometimes live demos by trained musicians. Daily camp activities include free play and outdoor time weather permitting.

Where do camps take place?
All of our day camps take place at
The Royal Conservatory, 273 Bloor Street West, in downtown Toronto. Campers will have opportunities to spend time outside (weather permitting) and often take music related field trips to locations such as the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM), the Edward Johnson Building (University of Toronto Faculty of Music), or jazz performances in Yorkville.
What are the age requirements for Music Exploration camp?
Campers must be a minimum of six(6) years of age as of the start date of camp, and independently (or with little assistance) use the washroom on their own. NOTE: If your camper does not meet these requirements, their enrollment may be cancelled at the discretion of The Oscar Peterson School administration team.
What does my child need to bring to camp?
Detailed instructions on what to bring will be sent in your camp welcome email, but please plan to bring a nut-free lunch and snacks, a water bottle, indoor shoes and outdoor shoes, season/weather appropriate clothing, and a change of clothes.
