KIDSTOCK returning to the River Music Experience

River Music Experience’s KIDSTOCK summer music program lets kids be rock stars! Pick between one of two two-week sessions or a special weeklong session at the YMCA’s Camp Abe Lincoln.

Students, ages 8-18, take part in workshops and lessons taught by local professional musicians, form a band with fellow campers, and finish the camp with a performance for their friends and families.

For sessions 1 & 2, with locations in both Iowa and Illinois, rehearsal goes from 1pm to 5pm each weekday, and each session ends with a concert in the Redstone Room.

KIDSTOCK provides the opportunity for students to learn about valuable life skills such as teamwork, compromise, creativity, and determination – all while doing something they love.

KIDSTOCK at Camp Abe Lincoln, for ages 8-17, offers the same in-depth music activities in addition to the traditional high adventure activities at Camp Abe Lincoln, including zip lining, swimming, archery, fishing, canoeing, and so much more. This week ends with a special performance for fellow campers and families at Camp Abe Lincoln.

Sponsors for KIDSTOCK include HavLife, Mediacom, John Deere, and West Music.
