Summer Camp

Five days a week through August, students aged 13–24 learn the fundamentals of DJing and digital music production in a hands-on, professional environment. Each day covers a different skill — from beatmatching and mixing technique to sound design, arrangement, and live performance. You'll work on real gear, get feedback from working artists, and leave with a set that's ready to play.

What you'll learn

  • Beatmatching and DJ mixing technique
  • Music theory for electronic producers
  • Sound design and synthesis basics
  • Ableton Live fundamentals
  • Arrangement and song structure
  • Live performance and crowd reading

FAQ

Common Questions

Do I need any experience?

No experience is required for Summer Camp or Private Sessions. The Mixdown Retreat requires that you have tracks already in progress — it's designed for producers ready to finish and release, not start from scratch.

What equipment do I need to bring?

Nothing for Summer Camp — all DJ gear and production workstations are provided. For the Mixdown Retreat, bring your laptop with your DAW and project files. For Private Sessions, bring whatever you're working on.

What age range is the camp for?

Summer Camp is open to students aged 13–24. Private Sessions and the Mixdown Retreat are open to all ages.

Where exactly is the camp located?

We're based in the Muskoka region of Ontario. Exact location details are shared upon registration. The setting is a private property with lake access — part of what makes the experience unique.

Is accommodation included?

Summer Camp is a day program (11am–4pm), so accommodation is not included. For the Mixdown Retreat, accommodation options are available — contact us for details.
