presented by Corktown Ukulele Jam co-founder/producer, Steve McNie.

 

A PERFECT INTRODCUTION FOR NEW PLAYERS

For those who want to play but never have, this is a made-in-heaven opportunity for you to learn how to play the ukulele from the ground, up.

You'll get all of the content presented in our UKE 101 and 201 offerings - and then some.

 

There will be a ton of playing and singing and good times are guaranteed.

A previous grounding in music is a good starting point but it's not a prerequisite.

Pressure to sing in front of people? Zero.

If your voice could have a best friend, it would be a ukulele. That's why we sing so much at CAMPUCCINO. We put our voice out there for the enjoyment of the experience. How well you sing really doesn't matter - but the spirit that you bring matters a lot.

 

EVERY MORNING BEGINS SOMETHING SPECIAL, ON US!

Our morning begins at 8:30am at Sumach Espresso, steps away from The Lofts At 90 Sumach, where camp takes place. Included in your camp experience is a coupon worth up to $5 toward whatever you would like to spend it on at Sumach Espresso, EVERY DAY of camp*! Almost everything on the espresso menu is under $5, so your glory in the morning is on us. Sumach Espresso is one of the city's most awesome cafés.

​

Then we head over to 90 Sumach, get tuned and warmed up. Our time is split between the natural light of the recently renovated Brewery Lofts Amenity Room and outside. Weather permitting, we'll enjoy the rooftop terrace to play before the Toronto cityscape. The pace is comfortable and the learning, fun.
