LETTER FROM OUR FOUNDER
Dear Parents,
I'm incredibly thrilled to introduce an innovative music summer program that celebrates the Star in everyone.
After orchestrating two amazing "Raise The Bar" music summer camps in 2022 and 2023, revealing the star power within every camper, I've decided to create . . .
. . . STARFACTORY
A top tier music summer camp and talent incubator, where 7-12 year olds unite to form a music supergroup of 9 campers, known as a "Starpod," a dynamic collective where individual strengths shine. Here, they'll focus on creating an amazing song and produce an unforgettable music video.
With a 30 year rich history in music, education, and entertainment, I've created an unparalleled, authentic music experience - plus outdoor fun, games and day trips. At StarFactory, kids experience the inner workings of the Studio process ... all the way to the Stage.
The daily itinerary is crafted to provide campers with morning exercise through structured activities and afternoon studio time in their StarPod. The last day of camp is a performance and Showcase, where Stars receive certificates and awards, perform their music, and StarFactory videos are premiered!
StarFactory is about igniting creativity, fostering confidence, nurturing teamwork, and laying the groundwork for these young stars to shine in every facet of their lives
YOU ARE HEREBY INVITED to join StarFactory this summer, where everyone's a Star and everyone shines!
Sincerely,
Marc Herstein
