Camp Allegro Wichita is
a music day camp for young people of all skill levels, beginning to
advanced, including those who do not currently play a musical
instrument but would like to learn. We are a nonprofit organization
located in Wichita, Kansas, that strives to present an unequaled summer
musical experience each June with week-long sessions in a variety of
musical disciplines.
Our mission is to
provide a unique opportunity for youth ages three to eighteen to
explore and perform diverse forms of music in a supportive and
nurturing atmosphere. We are committed to engaging excellent teachers
who are passionate about bringing music to children and teenagers of
all backgrounds and abilities, including those who don't play an
instrument but wish they did. Camp Allegro Wichita is incorporated as a
nonprofit organization in the state of Kansas and has been granted
501(c)(3) status by the IRS.
Camp Allegro Wichita offers
beginning instrumental instruction, small group ensembles (including
piano ensembles), chamber music, piano, organ, guitar, fiddling, jazz
improv, music theory and history, master classes, choir, band and jazz
band, and orchestra, plus art, photography, and recreation. Campers have
the opportunity to learn new instruments, improve their technique and
musicianship, and have fun making music with other campers, as well as
enjoy listening to their teachers in our faculty recitals.
