Murrieta and Menifee Academy of Performing Arts offers students from the communities of Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake and surrounding areas several summer camp options to choose from. We purposely keep camp sizes small with low teacher - to - student ratios to ensure children get individual attention during each and every day. As a result, space generally runs out several months before camp starts. If you miss the window, not to worry - we have a well-established waitlist system. To learn about each of our winter, spring, and summer camp programs, see the information below.

Summer Camps - Murrieta 2026

Over the course of a five-day camp session, students will work on several exciting activities, including instrument petting zoos, learning about the fundamentals of music, working on a group performance (see exciting video), as well as working on a collaborative music-related project that involves building and decorating their own instrument. Absolutely no experience is necessary, as the camps are custom tailored to both - complete beginners, as well as children with previous experience. Scroll below to see the 2026 schedule!

Throughout the 5-day experience, students will be encouraged to unleash their creativity and truly dive into the intersection between music and hands-on creative expression, which will be explored through the introduction of a variety of fun and rare instruments.

Final Product: Students will have a chance to participate in an low-pressure performance - see video for what this looks like! Students will also walk away from camp having built and decorated their own musical instrument. Which instrument are students building? It's a supply!

Theatre and Acting Camps

My daughter started vocal lessons here a few months ago with Denise and she loves it. She has developed so much technique in just a short amount of time. Denise has a strong passion for what she does and it shows in her teaching.

We love this Academy! My children attend drama classes. My daughter also has private voice lessons and private lessons for music theory. All with ms. Regina. She is a wonderful teacher - nice and very talented at everything she does. Always makes everyone feel heard, comfortable and included. And she is funny! All office workers always have been friendly and helpful, creating a positive experience at all times. We have only experienced friendly atmosphere in group classes from being around other students. Everything is well organized here. My children have learned so much, I can really tell a big difference, even in short period of time. I definitely recommend to come and experience for yourself. They are always looking forward to the classes!

My daughter was so excited to start violin lessons. The studio was very helpful in getting her set up. The staff is very friendly to kids and adults. Her teacher is wonderful assessing her skills and making the lessons are relevant and fun all while learning. Great studio to partner with for your kids musical journey!

My daughter started guitar lessons not to long ago and likes it. First time playing an instrument, the place is small but it does have a few chairs you can wait. Or just wait in the car. I sat in for one lessons and I think 30 min isn’t enough time for anything after the note taking and set it up/breaking down. I do like the instructor he’s awesome, kind and informative.
