Rhythm Tracks Music-Nature Camp
Rhythm Tracks is the ultimate Riekes Center experience! This year we venture to the woods and grasslands of Pescadero to learn the connection between music and the natural world. From the dawn chorus to the late night jam sessions, our days will be filled with experiences that stretch our awareness and pique our curiosity; elements that are essential for the mastery of survival in the forest and on the stage. Rhythm Tracks looks beyond fretboards and footprints, notes and nests, scales and scat to the unfolding mystery of the creative mind. No previous music or nature experience required. Activities will range from introductory to advanced concepts in both nature and music.
Ages: 12 - 18
Dates: Aug 8 - 13
Location: Drop-off Sunday, Pick-up Friday @ Riekes Center
