About This Camp

Charlotte Academy of Music offers an exceptional collection of creative arts summer camps that blend music, art, and musical theatre in exciting themed programs. With over a dozen different camps ranging from popular character themes like Bluey and Paw Patrol for younger children to sophisticated programs like the Wicked Creative Arts Camp and Taylor Swift ERAS Camp for older kids, there’s something to spark every child’s imagination. Each camp is taught by professional local artists and emphasizes hands-on creative learning with zero screen time, ensuring children are fully engaged in artistic exploration. The academy’s crown jewel is their two-week Matilda Jr. mainstage production, which provides older campers with a full musical theatre experience culminating in performances and potential participation in the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta. Whether your child is interested in instrument sampling through Music Makers, developing performance skills in Pop Star Camp, or exploring ensemble playing in Summer Strings, every program concludes with a special showcase where families can celebrate their young artist’s achievements. The academy’s commitment to professional instruction combined with age-appropriate themed content creates an environment where creativity flourishes and confidence grows.
