The closing date for bookings for Leeds City Council’s first ever music summer camp has been extended to make sure no one misses out.
The event for young people aged 9 to 16, will be held at the West Park Centre from 29 to 31 August and offers a fantastic range of music activities, catering for all interests and abilities. The closing date to book a place is now Friday 20 July.
Young people can sing and dance their way through hits from the charts and shows or try out Rock / Bandaoke and get a chance to play or sing in a rock band
The summer camp will give young people the opportunity to try out lots of different music and dance activities like DJing or poetry slam. People of all abilities are welcome even if they’ve never tried the activities before.
There will even be lessons to learn the latest craze – the Ukulele, people can go from beginner to band member in one day.
Beginners can also get into carnival mood, creating upbeat rhythms on Steel Pans or Dhol Drums. Players of wind, brass and folk instruments will also find plenty to do.
Places are available for one, two or all three days – prices start at just £25 per day, and instruments are provided for those who need them.
There are also generous fee concessions for those on free school meals, thanks to a grant from the Inner West Area Committee.
