"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!"

2025 Summer Camp
For Kids Ages 4-11 & 12-14 (CITs)
Build Community
... by joining a band!
Kids join our fun, music-loving community and learn how to work together in a supportive group setting. Groups are small, no more than 6 kids per band! And we have bands for total beginners and experienced musicians too.
Nurture Creativity
... by writing songs!
Through our game-based curriculum, bands write lots and lots of original songs. There’s a special feeling of accomplishment kids get when playing a song they wrote together—and all campers get to enjoy it. No experience required!
Build Confidence
... by performing your song!
At Brooklyn Music Factory camp, campers of all ages–will get to play a gig at the end of the week for fellow campers! Kids LOVE showing off their new skills and the work they created! Performing is a fantastic way to build confidence and celebrate how far they've come! In addition, every performance is live-streamed and recorded for families!
Get Physical
... by going to the park!
Brooklyn Music Factory is very fortunate to have a few parks nearby. Our kids run, climb, and play daily, and are encouraged to bring a swimsuit for the sprinklers. We try and get out no matter the weather.
Stay Safe
...with BMF's pro faculty.
Brooklyn Music Factory teachers and staff are trained to make camp fun AND safe for all campers. Proven safety procedures, a nut-free facility, CPR-certified leaders, and more, create the safest environment possible!
Have Fun!
At Brooklyn Music Factory, we want our campers to have the time of their lives! Every activity, whether writing a song with your band or playing in the park, is designed for maximum fun!
