LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT:

KAMP recognizes that we are living and working on ancestral land of the Coast Salish peoples, the Duwamish, Muckleshoot, Puyallup, Skykomish, Snoqualmie, Snohomish, Suquamish and Tulalip tribes and other tribes of the Puget Sound Salish people. We honor the First People and are particularly grateful for their continuous contributions to the music, art, and culture of the Pacific Northwest.

At KAMP we are proud to embrace the healing nature of music on the mind, body, and soul. We are currently striving to find more ways to build bridges between mental health services and access to music performance and education. We believe that the skills we learn through music and performance, such as resiliency and self-regulation, are life skills which serve an advantageous purpose.

Music and arts allow us to feel whole, act kinder, and be better versions of ourselves.
