More About We Love Music!

Come join the fun at Camphill Copake

Our summer youth camp kicks off on Saturday, August 16th!  We are delighted that master teacher Veronika Roemer will once again lead our youth program in an exciting exploration of music with instruments, singing, and games.  The “We Love Music” camp is being held in conjunction with the LANA Summer Lyre Conference and is designed for young people aged 9 to 16. The program fosters a deeper connection with music and encourages friendships through music-making.

This year’s camp runs from Saturday, August 16th to Wednesday, August 20th (9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) with an evening performance for the community on Tuesday, August 19th.  Camp participants will spend the morning session together with Veronika, developing music skills and creating community.  Lunch and a group activity will be provided on the Camphill Copake campus following the morning session.  In the afternoon, the young people will join the adults to participate in the lyre conference with master teacher Christian Giersch in preparation for the Tuesday evening performance.

We encourage any young person who may be thinking of attending the 2026 World Lyre Conference at the Goetheanum in Dornach, Switzerland to join the “We Love Music” camp this year.  This is an incredible opportunity to learn from two master teachers, Veronika Roemer and Christian Giersch, and to experience the power of musical community.

Please note that we are aware of the overlapping dates of the “We Love Music” camp and the Christian Community youth camp in northeast Pennsylvania.  If your child will be attending the Christian Community camp and is also interested in the “We Love Music” camp, please let us know.  Contact Julia Elliott with questions:  juliabelliott@gmail.com

We hope to see your child at the “We Love Music” camp!
