Sonart Day Camp at the Canadian War Museum

The Canadian War Museum is a unique location that never fails to amaze our campers with what it has to offer! At this camp, children enjoy an unforgettable musical experience while learning more about history and culture.

In addition to daily music lessons, campers participate in strategy games and team-building exercises, both indoors and outdoors. This is a great camp for kids with an analytical turn of mind!

The Sonart camp at the Canadian War Museum is located conveniently close to downtown Hull and Ottawa (handy if you work downtown). The music curriculum is based on the Conservatoire’s program and approved by that institution.
