Write songs and make music @ camp!
REGISTRATION FOR SUMMER 2026 NOW OPEN
At Brooklyn Music Factory Songwriting Camp, kids ages 4-11 & 12-14 (CITs) join bands, and spend their days writing songs, playing music games, and getting creative in our fully equipped studios. In addition, campers get to enjoy free time every day with lots of fresh air and physical activity at our neighborhood park. At the end of each camp week, kids will perform their freshly written original song for each other on our in house stage. Shows are also live streamed for families to enjoy!
Kids join a band and learn to work together in a supportive group setting. Campers are placed in small, age-appropriate bands—no more than 6 kids per group— and through our game-based curriculum, write lots of original songs. All experience levels are welcome, beginners included.
Campers get to enjoy free time outside every day with lots of fresh air and physical activity at our neighborhood park. Kids run, climb, and play with friends and teachers, and are even encouraged to bring a swimsuit for the sprinklers.
Campers play their original songs for each other at the gig on Fridays. Kids love performing together because they are building confidence and also celebrating their accomplishments. The gigs are live-streamed and recorded so families can join the fun.

BROOKLYN MUSIC FACTORY HAS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN MY DAUGHTER'S LIFE
It’s such an encouraging, supportive place, and it gives kids the tools to make their own music. It also lets them experience that being in a band is for anyone who wants to do it. Thank you so much!❞
