Music Camp is an awesome opportunity for your child to grow as a musician, develop responsibility away from parents, and have a lot of fun this summer! We, as a Jenks Band Staff, HIGHLY RECOMMEND your child attend a summer music camp. The benefits for your child both musically and socially are worth the effort and financial obligation.
