Summer Camps

2020

OUR 10th SUMMER!

In order to create safe social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be offering Virtual Flute-a-rama Summer Camps on Zoom.

Concerned about screen time?

During the breaks, students are encouraged to go outside, be with family, or otherwise enjoy screen-free relaxation.  We can also provide supervision, if necessary.

For each hour online, 15 minutes will be healthy movement fun breaks.
