Are you ready to rock? Are you interested in meeting like-minded musicians and learning from professional players?

We’re excited to introduce Rock Band Camp at SLCA! This two-week, immersive music day camp is designed for ages 12 to 16 and will be led by Mike Iwanos from the Troy Music Academy. Mike is an experienced group leader who will guide students in a collaborative and supportive environment, all while preparing for a live performance on the final day of camp.

Any professional musician will tell you that playing music in a group setting is a magical experience, and we’re thrilled to offer this opportunity! The camp is open to students who currently play at an early intermediate or advanced level; however, no prior group experience is necessary.

We welcome guitarists, electric bassists, keyboardists, drummers and vocalists. Please bring your own instrument. We will provide drums and keyboards.

If you have questions, please contact lessons@troymusicacademy.com or tanya@slca-ctp.org.

Aug. 11 to 22 (weekdays) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Get ready for a squishy, sparkly, sticky-good time!

In this playful workshop led by Carron Tessitore of Crafty Feats and Sweet Treats, kids ages 5 to 10 will mix, knead and stretch their very own custom slime creations—then wind down with a sweet cupcake snack they decorate themselves. Kids leave with their homemade slime, a treat and a smile.

A proud Averill Park resident for over 32 years, Carron has had a lifelong passion for creativity, community and education. Recently retired after a fulfilling three-decade career in educational consulting, she is now channeling her energy into creating crafting and volunteer opportunities for the young (and young at heart).

With Crafty Feats and Sweet Treats, Carron brings together her love of hands-on creativity and her belief in the power of joyful, shared experiences—offering workshops that are imaginative, inclusive and always just a little bit sweet!

Aug. 26 from 10 a.m. to noon
