Summer is the best time for a classic American campout. Here at The Shedd that means great songs like, “Home on the Range,” “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” “Kumbayah,” and “This Land is Your Land.” Campers will snack on great classic camp foods and make their own fiddles to play at the camp end performance.
Around The Campfire is the third of 4 summer camps offer by The Shedd Institute as a part of its 2013
Summer SongFest program for kids.

Each morning begins with a “warm up”, followed by learning the songs for the week’s theme. They will then get to learn about and play an instrument that has to do with the week’s theme. After a snack the campers will either get a chance to make their very own instrument or get dance instruction based on the theme. The campers end the day with a song circle to prepare them for their performance on Friday:
