Groove Drum Camp
Their Summer
Has a Beat.
Four weeks. Real drums. Ages 6–14. Every July.
Where kids stop tapping the table and start owning the groove.
Let's personalize
their summer.
Three quick questions — we'll show you exactly what's right for them.
How old is your drummer?
We tailor the curriculum to each age group.
Four weeks that
change everything.
The sweet spot — old enough to nail coordination, young enough to be fearless. We build a real vocabulary: paradiddles, ghost notes, groove feels across rock, funk, and Latin.
🥁 End-of-camp recital — families invited
Little Rhythms
Ages 6–8
Junior Groove
Ages 9–11
Advanced Beat
Ages 12–14
From first beat to
last high-five.
Every day is structured around building confidence — not just chops.
Circle Up
Everyone grabs their sticks and joins the opening drum circle. No wrong beats — just presence.
Skill Block
Small groups of 4. Instructor works one technique at a time — slow, then fast, then musical.
Jam Time
Free play with a counselor nearby. This is where the magic happens — they find their own voice.
Lunch & Hang
Picnic tables outside. Kids trade beats, share snacks, and realize they made friends without trying.
Song Workshop
They pick a real song — something they actually listen to — and figure out how to play it.
Pack Up & Pride
Five minutes of group reflection. Every kid names one thing they got better at today. Every single one.
People who love
teaching kids to love drums.
Ratio of 4 campers per instructor. Your kid is never lost in the crowd.
Marcus Webb
Head Instructor
12 years teaching kids drums. Former touring drummer turned full-time youth educator. If there's a kid who "can't get it," Marcus hasn't met them yet.
Favorite groove to teach
"Funky Drummer" by James Brown — because everyone can find the one.
Priya Nair
Instructor & Curriculum Lead
Berklee College of Music grad. Specializes in world rhythms — she'll have your kid playing a Afrobeat groove before they realize they're learning theory.
Favorite groove to teach
"Superstition" by Stevie Wonder — the groove that proves drums are the heartbeat.
Dex Okafor
Advanced Track Specialist
Session drummer, composer, and the person who finally explains odd time signatures in a way that makes sense. His Advanced Beat kids leave ready for high school band — and beyond.
Favorite groove to teach
"Tom Sawyer" by Rush — because Neil Peart taught us that complexity can feel like freedom.
Real families. Real reactions.
"My six-year-old couldn't sit still for five minutes before Groove. By Week 3 she was playing a full song. I cried at the recital — full ugly cry."
Rebecca Thornton
Mom of Lily, 7 · Little Rhythms, Week 2
"He'd been tapping on everything for two years. Groove gave that energy a home. He walked out on Friday like he owned the room."
David Park
Dad of James, 8 · Little Rhythms, Week 1
"My daughter went in nervous and came out with three new best friends and a groove she still plays every day. Marcus is magic with kids."
