TESTIMONIALS FROM SUMMER CAMP 2021
Your kids deserves to be social, active, and cared for this Summer, while learning music! Let them experience the Summer Arts Camp at South Windsor School of Music.
Why Our Summer Music Camp Totally Rules
Small groups for the best care
Staff are trained in health & safety, early childhood care and Ontario's Elementary Music, Visual Arts & Theatre Curriculum.
Age-Specific because it matters
Why would a 12 year old be in day camp with a 4 year old? We curate our activities to be specifically geared toward the camper's age.
OPTIMIZED FOR FUN CREATIVE LEARNING
Making friends at camp is top priority. Give your kid a memorable & creative summer with connections that last a lifetime!

MICHELLE SOULLIERE
Nice to meet you!
I have just as much fun during Summer Camp as your kid will. I want my young students to enjoy their music lessons, and express their creativity while they are learning.
I spent 7 years as artist-in-residence for the conseil scolaire catholique Providence where I taught the arts in French using hands-on, innovative methods. I completed large collaborative visual arts and music projects with JK/SK, primary, intermediate and secondary classes.
After touring in my 20’s, I held creative, administrative, and teaching roles with various non-profit arts organizations including National Film Board of Canada, Artcite Inc. Pre-pandemic, I co-developed and co-delivered a bilingual professional development program for Ontario-based music educators through the Ontario Arts Council.
My BFA degree is from University of Windsor. I’ve received additional artist-educator training throughout my career from Jumblies Theatre (Toronto), Royal Conservatory of Music, and Multicultural Council of Windsor.
