Dance class
At Camp Cameron we believe dancing is a great form of exercise, and a love of dance from an early age can help motivate kids to stay active as they grow into adults. Dance classes can increase your child’s flexibility, range of motion, physical strength and stamina. When young children study dance they learn perseverance and self-motivation. Dancing encourages children to experiment and find different paths to solving problems. It is vital in a child’s personal development that they learn the importance of trial-and-error and that, if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.
Theatre and Improv
Theatre exposes students to new vocabulary and different ways of communicating. Through the arts of dance, acting, and music, children learn how to communicate in a variety of unique ways.
Singing lessons
Camp Cameron now offers singing lessons! The top 5 benefits for children participating in singing lessons? One of the strengths your child would take away from voice lessons is that they build higher self-esteem.
Refines cognitive development skills: Singing and music enhance certain skills such as listening better, language, reading comprehension, and even exercises areas of the brain that are utilized for math
Improved memory: Along with brain development, children will succeed in retaining improved memory. Practice and repetition of singing in voice lessons, along with the rotation of the same voice warm-ups can attribute to a child’s memory.
Communication skills: Vocal coaching focuses on more than just the singing itself: certain things like articulation and diction, intonation and tone are all factors that are practiced for better and proper singing.
Connections and relationships: when children take singing lessons, the music usually evokes feelings and finding a connection when singing a song can give children the added benefit of being more susceptible to other people’s emotions. Through enhanced communication skills, children will be able to establish relationships in a much easier fashion. They will have the ability to anticipate responses and reactions from reading body language and picking up on how someone is feeling. Strong connections will be made that can turn into long-lasting friendships.
