THE FESTIVALS FEATURE BETWEEN 100 AND 200 PERFORMING SONGWRITERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD, A SONGWRITING SCHOOL, AND INSTRUMENT WORKSHOPS. MUSIC CAMP FOR TEENS IS A 5-DAY CAMP FOR YOUTH AGED 13 - 18. FACULTY IS COMPRISED OF SONGWRITERS, MUSICIANS AND POETS THAT FOCUS ON HELPING STUDENTS FIND THEIR OWN VOICE AND SOUND WHILE INTEGRATING LESSONS THAT HELP TEENS BUILD SELF-ESTEEM, ENGAGE IN POSITIVE LEISURE TIME ACTIVITIES, AND DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS FOR 70 TEENS, MANY OF WHOM ARE FROM LOW INCOME AND SINGLE PARENT HOUSEHOLDS.
