WHAT IS CAMP DREAM?
Camp DREAM is a two-week musical arts exploration camp for children ages 5–11 that takes place annually in July at the Otis Redding Center for the Arts (ORCA), 436 Cotton Avenue, Macon, GA, 31201, Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
EXPLORE CREATIVITY
Designed to introduce kids to the creative arts and inspire self-expression, Camp DREAM gives students the opportunity to explore music, visual arts, dance, theatre, and more. Campers are grouped by age and rotate through a variety of engaging classes led by professional musicians and artists—each of whom has passed a background check. The facility is secured with automatic locks, security cameras, and on-site security guards to ensure a safe environment for all.
A FIRM FOUNDATION
Each week of camp features a different theme, so families may choose to sign up for Week One, Week Two, or both. Throughout the week, students will be introduced to the foundational elements of music and art, including hands-on exploration of instruments like piano, ukulele, trumpet, guitar, and percussion. If a child shows interest and aptitude with a particular instrument, they may be given a special part to play in addition to singing and dancing.
CENTER STAGE
Campers will collaborate to write an original song, culminating in a Friday finale performance for family and friends. This performance showcases everything they’ve learned and created together. Camp DREAM is more than just fun—it’s a powerful way to help unlock and nurture each child’s creative potential while building friendships that last.
