CAMP OrKidstra/Teaching Artist Training Workshop – July 8 to 12, 2019

22.07.2019 Anne Taylor Summer Program, Photo Gallery

Thanks to continued support from the community, CAMP OrKidstra and OrKidstra’s Teaching Artist Training Workshop (July 8 to 12, 2019) were a big success!

CAMP OrKidstra brought together over 70 students and 12 Leaders-in-Training (LITs) from both the Centretown and Vanier Hubs for a week filled with music, learning, games, outdoors activities, friendship and fun! We are honoured to dedicate our OrKidstra summer programs (CAMP OrKidstra) to the memory of Anne Taylor. 

OrKidstra’s first-ever week-long Teaching Artist Training Workshop was made possible by support from the Ottawa Community Foundation. Over 30 participants spent a week learning more about music as a means of social change, gaining important entrepreneurial skills and honing their musical craft and teaching abilities in an interactive environment.

Thank you for your interest in OrKidstra.

Due to our limited number of spots available, we are currently only enrolling students who were 5 years or older as of June 1, 2025 (born before June 1, 2020). We can see that your child is currently too young, and therefore we are unable to offer you a spot in the program at this time.

We encourage you to reach out again in June 2026, once your child is within the accepted age range of 5-18 years old. If you have any further questions, please email us at programadmin@orkidstra.ca and we will be happy to connect with you.

Many thanks for your inquiry, and we wish you all the best!
