We are excited to have several new class options at KLKP 2025 this summer and we are most excited about our Kids’ programming which we are expanding and developing from our start in 2022!
Week ONE and TWO: Camp Activities courtesy of Kenosee Boys and Girls Camp leaders in collaboration with our Music instructors!
This is an exciting partnership between KLKP and our host facility and its director, Michael Paul. Not only will experienced camp counsellors be working with un-chaperoned participants and lending their expertise from years of running summer programming at the Kids’ camp, but they will also be creating “Summer fun” programming for all of the children on site. The Kenosee Boys and Girls Camp runs a variety of programming for children and families all summer long, so their enthusiasm, knowledge of the environs and sparkly-spirits will mesh well with the Family Camp atmosphere at KLKP.
Week ONE and TWO BRIDGE Program: Is your child newly 13 and still wants to come to KLKP? But you cannot come with them? We are developing a supervised Bridge program for kids who are entering the regular KLKP, but still need supervision.
Dedicated staff/ volunteers led by educator and musician Kylee Carver will ensure your child is socially connected, happy in their classes, in bed at a reasonable hour and not getting up to non-musical mischief.
Week ONE and TWO Kids Camp: Music and Songwriting
Additionally, thanks to a SK Arts Board Grant, KLKP will offer dynamic and flexible programming, inspiring art and music drawn from the landscape itself. We also have Ted View and Brii LaPlante and Sue Bland as Artist in residences for the KLKP Kids program, as well as songwriting with Scott Perrie ( of Winsome Kind fame). Our children’s program has enlarged capacity, and we are so excited about the possibilities.
Week ONE and TWO: Art as a Registered Class
While we’ve had artists around campus for many years, now participants can choose to register for art instead of a musical instrument. This will be treated the same as instrument classes, with direct and progressing instruction from a dedicated instructor. Your instructor will contact you prior to camp to chat about supplies, concepts and plans, so you’re prepared prior to arrival.
Week ONE: andTWO: ” School of Rock”or should it be Rad Trad?
Led by dynamic duos instructors with so many years between them of guiding bands ( country, rock, trad, huge stage shows.. you name it!) Week one features the duo of Morgan Turk and Anthony Kelly, with vocal/ piano assistant Alison Morris ( ON) and they can bring together and coach a full band component of vocalists/ guitar and bass players, drummers, pianists as well as just about any other instrument.
Week Two will be led by Rob Skeet and Morgan Turk, with surprise vocal/ piano assistant! And same thing..
We’ll also be cycling in some highly trained vocal coaches, with options of working with other amazing teachers. We’re pretty excited about the options opening up with these duo classes! Registration limited to 10 people each week.
Raw Beginner Options: Clawhammer Banjo AND cello! ON the form where it says “Multi-levels) that means we can accommodate raw beginners on both of those instruments.
What a great opportunity! Have you always wanted to TRY but were not sure you were ready to commit to a full year’s lesson package? This is your chance to dip your fingers into these waters!
Rent an instrument from Long and McQuade ( or borrow from a friend). Both Daniel Koulack and Eli Bender are amazing teachers and will get you going in no time!
Week ONE and TWO Piano: This is a great chance to really dig into piano by ear/ accompaniment/ chording. Our province really needs more accompanists – so dig in and twinkle away. Back by popular demand, Emilyn Stamm will be in residence WITH the new baby and partner. How fun will that be!
