ABOUT

Campocello was founded in 2001 by Mary Thomson and Morna Howie, with the goal of preparing students for the coming school year. At the beginning of the camp a theme is presented to the students. Through songs, crafts and games, students work towards a final performance of Suzuki pieces, classical favourites and popular hits, which have been arranged to suit all musical levels. Whether the student is a beginner or in Book 8, they are sure to have a memorable experience.

We are pleased to welcome Franki Lemon as co-director.

In Vancouver, Campocello takes place at St. James Community Centre, during the last week in August.
3214 West 10th Ave. (10th and Trutch)
