Providing tuition-free music instruction on Chicago's West Side
CAMP envisions a world where orchestral education is accessible regardless of social standing, addresses community needs, encourages youth leadership and civic engagement, and inspires a new generation of excellent, diverse, and collaborative musicians.
Symphony Orchestra is Going on Tour!
Over the course of this school year, CAMP's Symphony Orchestra students have composed new music, created props, and put together a program to accompany Greta and the Giants by Zoë Tucker, a children’s book about Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg. On April 25th, they will tour it to four elementary schools on the West Side: Chicago West Side Christian School, Kipp One Primary, Polaris Charter Academy, and Beidler Elementary School.
Because the tour involves a lot of expenses (adult musicians, transportation, meals, etc.), we need sponsors to help make it possible!
we need your help!
CAMP relies on individual donations for over 30% of its annual budget. Spring is the most challenging time to make ends meet because it’s in between grant disbursement. Can you help us reach our $7,500 goal to support spring programs such as our Musical Storytime tour, spring concert, and the last few weeks of instruction?
music matters
