The Oakville Suzuki Performing Arts Camp was founded in 1980 by Jean Grieve and has grown from 50 campers to more than 300 each summer.  This dynamic program attracts students, teachers, and guest conductors from throughout the world.

Beginner to advanced students are welcome and those learning by both the Suzuki method and RCM method can be accommodated.

Our camp coordination is much like a school system whereby campers have individual schedules and move from class to class independently.  This is why campers ages 7 and under MUST be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.  Assistance is available for parents with more than one child.

Parents choose an appropriate program for their child's age and ability to handle a half or full day of camp.  See Program section for complete details

• Early Childhood Music (6 months - 3.5 years of age; one hour daily class)


• Junior Program (4 - 5 years of age; morning only)


• Intermediate Program (5 - 8 years of age; morning to early afternoon)


• Senior Program (7 - 16 years of age; all day)


• Chamber Program (for the advanced musician; afternoon only)

Individual camper schedules feature private instruction in one or two choices of cello, fiddle,  flute, guitar, piano, recorder, violin, viola, or voice.  Complimenting this will be a combination of classes in art, dance, drama, Kodaly, instrumental group, music theory, orff, percussion, recorder, ukulele, and more.  Our camp also offers students the chance to participate in two levels of Orchestras, several Chamber Ensembles and Choirs, as well as Music Theatre.
