African Music & Dance Camp – 1/2 Day via Zoom

Campers will need to return equipment Kutandara on Friday each session after camp hours. Equipment will be disinfected on Saturdays using a mild bleach solution.

Marimba Busking Camp – Full Day

For now, we are putting our busking camps on hold while we see where our physical distancing can get our communities. If the Colorado Department of Public Health lifts their recommendation about young people socializing and spending time together, we will offer these camps, but if not, you will just have to wait until next summer!

Session 1: June 15-19, 2020 | ON HOLD
Held @ Kutandara

Session 2: August 3-7, 2020 | ON HOLD
Held @ Kutandara

Our marimba busking day camp allows preteens and teens to work in small groups to create cool marimba arrangements, and then earn their very own money performing on Pearl Street Mall.

Marimba + Mbira Performance
 
Teamwork + Public Speaking

Money Management + Gifting Mentality

We meet at Kutandara in the mornings and then travel by RTD bus to spend most afternoons on Pearl Street Mall together playing and earning tips…to spend on treats or take home and save. Kids learn performance, audience interaction, money management, and decision-making skills.

Our staff members are experienced teachers and young adult students at Kutandara, and our camper to staff ratio never exceeds 4:1. Amy Stewart McIntosh and Randy McIntosh, camp directors, have been teaching summer camps at Kutandara since 1999.
