A Camp for Singer-Songwriters and Instrumentalists:
July 20 to 24, 2026
Welcome to the website for Carleton University’s new Song-to-Stage Camp! The S2S camp is an opportunity for musicians 12 years and older to come and hone their skills in songwriting and performance on voice or instruments.
This camp is designed for all levels from beginner to advanced, and intergenerational learning is encouraged. Our award-winning and experienced instructors can work with those who are just getting started, and those who are more experienced. Plus we have advanced students, including Carleton students, assisting with co-writing mentorship as well as supervision for our youngest campers at lunch. Our programming is suitable for students from middle school, high school, university level, and adults through to seniors. Our supportive and inclusive team will help you learn to feel confident sharing your music on the stage! Singer-songwriters, singers and instrumentalists are all welcome!
